Here is a list of all the tutorials that i used to learn from. As many of you already know, i am a self taught artist. But the name "self-taught" is a little misleading, since i wasn't quite alone, i referenced and learned from many tutorials. So i am a tutorial-taught artist
Though some are from other sources, most of them come from artists on deviantart. Some aren't even tutorials but images that by looking at them, i get a better understanding of something.
They have shaped who i am as an artist. You can probably see their influence on my art to this day.

So without further ado, here they are.

One of the first tutorials on colors i looked at, and one of the best
has some very good tutorials on colors as well aquasixio.deviantart.com/galle…
some examples:

This is not a tutorial but whenever i look at it i feel like i know how to draw clouds just a little better

This blood in the snow looks so good!
makes me wanna draw a murder in the snow just to practice this. Jon Snow.....?

This eye!
This process

These textures!
More

These are one of the best fur tutorials

Looking at this step by step just makes me feel richer
How to make a starry sky
more starry sky
Sky during the day
more cloud tutorials (it comes wit a really cool brush set)
Thunder, snow, fire really useful!

The human ear, the mystery of how to draw it finally elucidated!
eye tutorial
Male anatomy
My obsession, water
Just looking at this is just mind blowing
same with this one
water brushes
more water

How to make your profile super pretty!
Shiny gems
Brilliant tutorial on folds and cloth
Awesome lighting
more
This video is how to use brushes

People ask me how i got to draw good hands. And the truth is i tried following many tutorials but nothing stuck. I just couldn't comprehend hands. So what i did was keep drawings hands after photos and that worked, i eventually got better.
This is a website you can use. It has many many hand references, in great poses artists.pixelovely.com/
It also has feet, animals and figure drawing as well.
If you're the type that understands anatomy from tutorials good for you. I found it doesn't work for me. Not as good as i hoped, or as good as the other tutorials helped me comprehend folds for example. But combining tutorials with practicing from photos worked.

There are more tutorials but many artists have archived them so they're no longer available for view.
I actually saved many tutorials on my computer and have this huge library of them for easy access. I am an art hoarder ouo

So, a question for you.
What tutorial influenced you as an artist? Links please!
