Once upon a time, there was a user name Chou who brought all us artists the joy of this very useful thread... But due to circumstances, the thread is now gone.

The thread was for tutorials and recommendations on many different things along with sensible lessons from all over the web. It was proven to be useful to many, as all of us here are mostly still in our early years.

Well, luckily, I decided to bookmark every single one of the websites and whatnot so NOW, I PRESENT TO YOU A WHOLE LOAD OF THIS AND THAT IN WHICH ARTISTS CAN MAKE USE OF: Some things are somewhat NSFW-ish:

Art programs Free Gimp - Nice program overall. For editing. It's decent for drawing but I don't really like it. Art Rage - It's the free trial I'm talking about. Art weaver -Quite SAI like, if I do say so myself. Paint.NET - Beginners only. Ink Scape - Vector art/lineart. Chibi Paint - Oekaki <3 Flow Paint - I'd say beginners.

Paid Photoshop SAI Paint tool IllustStudio Manga Studio

Photo references SenshiStock - Visit the gallery. You'll see what I'm talking about. Fineart Human anatomy for Artists
