Art Tutorials

Ok, basically I am making tutorials on art, because a lot of Scratchers have been spamming me with sad faces saying it isn't fair that I can do XYZ but they can't figure out how... O.O (Stop spamming me. Seriously, I will keep deleting it. Just ask politely for a...)
TUTORIAL!

Okay. So, basically for know I am teaching how to use these programs:
Pixlr
GIMP
Sumo-Paint
~
At least two tutorial will be released each week, with a different version for each program. The main topics covered:
Digital Art
Anime
Manga
Pixel Art
Animation
Developing your Own Style
Turning X into Y (E.g. Human -> Na'vi)
User Request
~
All will be uploaded on Scratch 1.4 so that new users can view the projects. All tutorials will NOT require anything that needs payment (no PS, special brushes, etc.)
~

However, I need YOUR help.  Each week I will always do at least one User Request and one "lesson". I need user requests. Please select a style, pose, and object, and will show you how to make it.
~
The first lesson is currently being finished, so hold tight.  smile

Re: Art Tutorials

Cool!

Could you post the links to download those software's?

I would like to know how to use gimp especially, because I've heard good things about it.

I am tired of the default editor.  smile

What is pixel art? And i, like iaoumeur, want to know how to use gimp and other good 2D art designing software. I would like to get good at 2D art first, before 3D(Which i am like a molder, so 3D is easier for me  smile ). I currently STINK at 2D art, so i could use the help.

I believe that pixel art us art that is made pixel by pixel.  I'm not good at it, but I've done it before.

Re: Art Tutorials

Pixel Art =
Drawing pixel by pixel, using a pencil tool. You use different technics for shading, and limit yourself to colors at the very beginning.  smile

Update on Plans:
User Request: Manga Character thing
Normal Lesson: GIMP Tutorial
User Request: Pixel Art stuff
Normal Lesson: Manga Cat
User Request: Wolf(I got this awhile ago from a sibling  tongue )
Normal Lesson: Pixlr Tutorial
User Request: SOMETHING
Normal Lesson: Sumo-Paint Tutorial
User Request: SOMETHING
Nomral Lesson: How to Draw Dragon^^
User Request: ...
Normal Lesson: How to Animate (Basic)
~
Obviously plans could change. I am trying to get my Manga Character tutorial to work for Sumo-Paint. Safari crashes whenever I try to take a screenshot (I know why, and how to fix it). The Pixel Art tutorial should be finished soon. I just need to figure out the tool setting for Pixlr. ^^
And obvously, the GIMP tutorial could be a bit, as there is a lot of tools to cover. So that might be in 2-3 parts.

Pixel art is usually found in RPG's and stuff, it sometimes has a lot of detail made from tiny dots...
