I had to start this thread because out there among the vast sea that is of tutorials, there's tutorials stand out as particularly bad, as in those who don't know what they're talking about, and those that are particularly exceptional. I choose to focus on the latter for obvious reasons xd

Here's some I found that I think are particularly noteworthy, and so easy to refer back to when someone doesn't know what they're talking about.

I'd have to say this group is one of the best, of skin that is: skin 1, skin 2, chart

This is my favorite, and so true! style
And by the same artist (this helped me understand colour a lot better: colour

Shoulder tutorial: link

And a webcomic one, just because I went to the same school as this girl (but I never knew her): link

I just read through those. Who would have thought skin colour was so complicated? O___e I also draw my shoulders completely wrong. Dammit I suck. xDDDD

Aaaaaanyway...

Scott McCloud's books "Understanding Comics" and "Making Comics" are like the comic artist's bible. I'm surprised you didn't add them in the first post. O__o

This thread in the forums has some decent tutorials and some tips too!

Oh right! It's just that it's been a long time since I read those. But I agree, those are pretty darn good.

I never drew shoulders really well either. Or anything for that matter. But it does help to become aware of your weak points. Of which I have many.

Anyways, I'll get to work and put up a thread for the designs.

I've used it for my own comics, and it works well. ((But you need photoshop... ^^''))

For those who are lazy sometimes/all the time with backgrounds...
