I'm compiling a list of art resources and tutorials!
Please whisper Teacup or message me here on rpr if you have anything to contribute.
If you'd like to request certain tutorials be added, I can guarantee you I'll find one to your liking.
This is a huge WIP! I will be updating regularly as I find new ones.
