    Great collection!! As always!! But most of it alredy done:D

    Will be glad to see a tutorial about graphics pen (not how to make/design it): how to use it better, or some tutorial that needs a graphic pen to be done, or what graphic pen is good to buy.

    Bye!

    Is number 18 supposed to say “Real World Effects” not “Real Word Effects”?

    Just a little typo, anyway, great collection of tutorials, very professional style too…I like :)

    #28 looked like a really nice effect but a dissapointing once I opened the actual tutorial.

    I couldn’t do any of the tutorials from Digital Arts Online because I they didn’t give the files needed to create the images. That was a little disappointing.

    OK, it’s the eve of a long weekend… but really, this is too much to fit it all in! Good to have them all together though, so I can come back and do them point by point by pixel by pixel by piece by piece.

    Most of these are pretty sweet. Espec. the Nic Ainley one.

    .. is it more or do we keep seeing the same tutorials popping up here every other week? Like the hand drawn one (3rd time in 2 months??)
