Making textures for models? Need a tutorial please.

[Arkitekt]

Well I said,"Ima edit the default HL2 textures!" then when I started I realized all I know how to do that is useful is change the hue, saturation, etc.

So how the hell do you make textures for models? I can make regular seamless textures, but that's it, I need to know how to make good textures for models. If anyone could help me, or link me a good tutorial, that'd be great.
