Hello my lovely friends

Digital painting

I want to try doing some digital paintings with photoshop and was wondering if anyone could recommend a great tutorial or some drawing brush tips. I've been using photoshop for 10 years so I know my way around it pretty well. I have PS7 and PS CS4 at my disposal plus a Wacom tablet that I've had for 4 years. I've been doodling in it since last night when I installed my tablet driver and transfered PS from my old laptop but I can't seem to get the hang of it.

I've watched some progress videos on youtube and alike but they work so fast and speed up the video I cannot really tell what they are doing *_*;;

Poll

I have a question for all my followers: I want to know if anyone likes or dislikes the direction my artwork is going. That means if you like my older works that I did last year compared to the ones I've been chalking out this year. I'm only curious because I do not want to loose any followers due to this change. I only want to learn digital painting because I want to do some gaming fanart and I love how the digital paintings turn out. The poll was asked on my facebook page here. If that link doesn't work you can visit my facebook page spash and on the left side click the link [Questions].

I'm very optimistic so I made the options very optimistic ^^

Shadowness

I finally got a Shadowness account a few weeks back and I am loving the community. There are so many kind people there. I think I've already found most of my favorite artists here on deviantart on there and started /following them. My painting Wish You Were Here was awarded with a Daily Feature too!

Are there any other art communities I am missing out on?
