Overview

Photoshop being one of the most used artistic softwares seemed like a good point to start exploring tutorial to use with my new Wacom tablet, so I compiled a lot of tutorials that seem good for getting me started. I’ve used it before, but not to the extent of actually drawing full assets, and I want to be able to draw out decent characters and creatures. I figure I will cover the basics again just to get comfortable with all the tools available, and I hope these tutorials are a good starting step for that as well as transitioning into learning how to actually apply these tools to get started making some solid sketches.

Tutorial #1 covers a lot of the tool basics, and Tutorial #4 with color blending was a good example of something I believe will be something I will like to explore extensively while getting started making creatures and characters, so those seem like strong basics coverage. The rest generally cover examples of making some kind of 2D art asset, and I will be using those as guides to show me how to use some of those tools to actually create the assets. Getting those examples from a few different sources can help show different approaches, but the final 3 are all from the same creator since they do just appear to be nice quick examples that I can grasp fairly quickly.

I will most likely be doing some more work on some of my older 2D pixel art games, so I wanted to brush up and get some more basic tutorials on pixel art in photoshop to get me back up to speed and hopefully learn some new things along the way. This creator had the benefit of following up with an animation video as well, which is a nice bonus to tag on. I may need to reset my Photoshop settings so it is proper for pixel art again.
