due to an overwhelming like of my use of textures on my caps blog i decided to make a texture masterpost for anyone interested. this includes where i learned about textures and sites where there are an abundance of textures (ones i use most often).

tutorials

• google is always going to be your best friend when you need to know how to do something in photoshop. yeah, i know it’s kind of stupid recommending google but i don’t care. 
• psdtuts - this site is probably the most popular and coincidentally the most useful. i would check out the video tutorials because those are how i learned how to do most of what i know.
• flickr tutorial - this tutorial is the same approach i go about editing caps. it’s very different but the steps are the same.
• psdlearning - another site like psdtuts but not as popular (at least i don’t think it is)
• i really wish i could add more sites here but (and i hate to be one of these people) i just experimented until i got something that looked halfway decent. the only advice i feel like i can give to people is download all the textures ever and work with them.

textures

• these are ones that i use most often, it is not limited to.
• first and foremost i suggest searching through deviantart, flickr and livejournal. there are amazing people out there with a lot of things to offer. 
• fuckyeahresources - honestly go here and download everything (if you think “but i’d never use that texture!”, you probably will later on then again i hoard textures so maybe you shouldn’t take my advice.)

Emlan just showed me this awesome lighting assistance tool! If you can get past the creepy stare, it’s really great reference for drawing faces in different lighting!
