This is my ultimate compilation of things I link to people, often needing to find and refind them. I did indeed learn more from resources like these than I did from "art college" and if I knew how available this knowledge is made to everyone I would have saved myself the trouble.
Side note: I have my own Auto-Save for Sai and the modern Photoshop I use comes with an auto-save feature (preferences > file handling).
*Other Art Libraries
Ctrl+Paint has a library covering all sorts of things ranging from beginner to advanced. I highly recommend Principles of Design under the Composition Basics (4) section.
Prismblush.com has a great section of tutorials from Doxy on anatomy, techniques and process steps.
*Anatomy Practice and Drawing Warm-Ups
Techniques for initial stages of figure drawing:
How to draw structure in the body
How to draw gesture
Croquis Cafe Figure Drawing Playlist
Draw This, simulated model session
There's many stock reference resources on Deviantart including SenshiStock, ImperialStarletStock, and MostlyGuyStock.
*Examples of the Painterly Technique
Painterly process video from Ilya Kuvshinov (human)
Ross Draws on Youtube, very cool stuff. (human)
One of our most influential artists here is Demicoeur who has an awesome tutorial here.
Here's an amazing tutorial Drawing a Female Face from Loish and check out her process videos here on her Vimeo.
I found a nice Eye Tutorial and Hair Tutorial from Sakimichan and definitely check out her Youtube to see the speed paint of her whole process.
Glitched Puppet sketch painter tutorial.
Kienan Lafferty would also belong here, check out his information in the below section.
*Light and Colour
Awesome Colour Theory Tutorial
Relative COLOR from KNKL along with his recommended videos "The Order of LIGHT!" and "Easy Lighting with Masks!" among others you can find on his channel.
Doxy's Notes on Cel Shading and Light
*Artists with Valuable Tutorial Videos on Everything
Kienan Lafferty is an artist that used to work for Riot (League of Legends) and does some work for Blizzard among other things. He has endless tutorials on anatomy, expression, design (armor, character, etc), perspective, etc. He works with the painterly technique all the time so if you're interested in that definitely check him out.
Sycra has a collection of How to Draw anatomy, form, proportions, etc and I particularly find the How to Draw the Shoulder video to have given me some unforgettable tips on anatomy. Also he has a video on How to Draw Hands
ProkoTV also has a bunch of very valuable tutorials. Just scroll down his videos and see how useful it all looks.
*Specific things (Penis/Cum/Boob/Hands)
Cumology 101
Doxy's Toots - Cum Paint With Me
Doxy's Notes - Liquid on Objects
Luckypan's LuckyGoo
TypeDong1 By Onta
Onta's Guide to Drawing Cocks
DragonFU's Boobie Size Chart
Doxy's Boob Toot
How to draw boobs
How to Draw Breasts - Form & Motion
Common Mistakes of Drawing Breasts
Bunch of Hand References and How to Draw Hands.
*Learn to Draw Anything
You don't learn how to draw something by repeatedly drawing from your head and making the same mistakes over and over. You need to learn and apply yourself to improve. This How to Draw Anything Tutorial
is a great demonstration of this.
*Quick Sai Tutorial
This isn't the most extensive Sai tutorial
but when I started it helped me a ton, there's also a Sai Basics Tutorial
from the artist xa-xa-xa
who did conceptual art for Wakfu, Dofus, and stuff.
*Brushes
BRUSH GORDON - This helps organize the nightmare that is all your Photoshop brushes, just check out the videos on the website and have your mind blown! Brush management was always one of the biggest obstacles I have to using Photoshop as a program.
(The new Photoshop has a way to organize your stuff and there's other brush management plug-ins you can Google for)
Since I use Sai I have no need for brushes and use the default circle brushes in Sai.
Some artists that use painterly technique generally use the default brushes in Photoshop such as the chalk tool. There are brushes all over Deviantart that are easy to find and so I found a Fur Brush set, another Fur Brush set, and a Skin Texture set. Loish Brushset and Sakimichan Brushes, there are tons and tons of Photoshop brushes for most everything, just do any search of google or deviantart.
*Landscape/Texture
Cloud 1 Tutorial+Brushes
Cloud 2 Tutorial+Brushes
Water
*Concept Art and Landscapes
I have one primary go-to example for this, and that is Feng Zhu Design, there is a myriad of videos on their Youtube Channel. This is all painterly technique/happy accident method, he admits to using basic photoshop brushes and because he's so huge in the video game industry his works are done with great speed, time is money. Personally the landscape tutorials
are best for the commission work I do for backgrounds to characters. He does character design, monster concepts, ship/vehicle concepts, landscapes and architecture as well as general settings.
There is an endless amount of resources on the internet, tons of tutorials on Deviantart for how to draw fur, use colour, all sorts! We're also lucky enough to have all these amazing artists here on FurAffinity who advertise their streams to us all the time, I learn so much from watching them.
I have always been willing to help artists, I make my Skype available publicly and welcome questions. However, I don't have power to make other people better, that will always lie with the individual and their own motivation. I improve because I desire to improve and it happens through learning and work, both of which are not easy.
If there's something important you would like to add, please link it in the comments for others to see.
