For those of you who would like to submit tutorials to the thread, please link to it rather than posting the actual body of the tutorial in the thread. Many artists upload tutorials on their DA accounts, but if you don't have a DA account or your tutorial is very text-heavy, you can post it in your Gaia journal and link to the entry. Since (hopefully!) we'll be putting a lot of tutorials in this thread, it's important to have an easily navigable thread.
