Pretty cool guy, and explains things well.
But it's a bit silly that he doesn't even mention layer masks which is a much better alternative to the eraser brush tool.

Nice initiative, ADT!
My first contribution is hardly an addition as good as yours, but rather digital art and or manipulation in general, I guess.

CGTEXTURES[/URL]
- If you get your material from this site for whatever purpose you can imagine you never break any laws or copyrights distributing, claiming works using it as yours, or even selling. This site refers to professionals and game creators in the design and art industry using this site as a serious and liberal source for textures and material.
[URL="http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php"]Figure drawing from Pixelovely.com[/URL]
- The site offers a free to use tool that allows you to train and practice drawing speed paintings, sketches, anything similar to live painting or whatever you wish to accustom your learning to. You can adapt the tool to your liking - very handy for the one looking to learn anatomy and whatnot.
[URL="http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=42"]Tutorials from Conceptart.org[/URL]
- This is not a very fancy link, but should rather be monitored during a long period of time. For one who seeks eventual tutorials, this is after all a professional site for people in the art related business.
Anyone know some helpfull 3DCG website with tutorials? Such as Maya, 3Ds MAX, C4D etc?
and thanks for the helpfull links, finally I can expand my knowledge in photoshop texturing
