Gumroad Tutorials List
polycounter lvl 19
EDIT (3/26/16): This thread got too long to properly edit. Also it was getting a bit unruly. So we've moved it to the Polycount Wiki:
http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Gumroad_Tutorial_List
Please keep posting new gumroads here, any sales you all have, etc. Just my advice but to use your name or company name. Listing a tutorial by X42dogg does not tell the buyer anything about you. That's just my 2 cents though. The list will get updated either way. Even for X42dogg.
There's a ton of great Artists doing gumroad tutorials these days. Here's a list to get started. Feel free to post others that you know of (Some of these fit into multiple categories. I'll do the best I can) and I'll add them.

A lot of getting good lines will be your technique, sketchbook pro will let you achieve nicer lines a little easier but it doesn't do the work for you sadly.
This is Marek's first video, but he makes the mistake in my mind of choosing to do everything as an overdub on sped up video.
When i am buying a tutorial i am doing it so that i can get a great idea about what is going on in your mind as you draw, and i want to hear about the techniques and methods you use. It seems to me that by overdubbing you leave yourself with having to follow what you are doing on screen, you can't break off into tangents and show the viewer reference images, or doodle little explanations, or spend extra time on something to explain it better.
In the end While i did find the video entertaining i find it hard to recommend because it is light on actual teaching material, and he also comes across as a bit dorky because while overdubbing he is kind of pretending that he isn't. Paraphrasing but saying things like "i have an idea lets do this" in an overdub just sounds silly.
The main thing i got from it was to see how rough he works while bringing such a complex illustration to life.
Currently i can't recommend it, but perhaps when combined with the rest of the series it will be worth while.

Found this one to be a ton of help, its short so easy to watch several times, but very to the point and a great intro to PBR.
Eh?
I liked it. I'd recommend it for people who already know the Zbrush fundamentals.

Thanks for the kind review. I should have my tutorial series on advanced materials and landscapes in UE4 up in the next few days.

Added 2 tutorials
Awesome! I'll have to give it a watch later.
So many gumroad tutorials now.... I have an addiction.
Check out Maciej Kuciara's. He has a whole series devoted to that, with more to come (IIRC he's a bit busy at the moment). Anthony Jones also did one on photobashing characters.
recommend them, but not for very beginners, they're mostly about dynamesh and advanced sculpting techniques.
I purchased his Cthulhu one once I started to see a trend online of all these Cthulhu busts popping up
Just got this one from Trent Keniuga and it's awesome. It's shorter than other videos, but somehow has lots of good info packed in.

The Rin Torra Character Sheet Lesson is the one i bought. Great stuff!

Haha I noticed the wave of Cthulhu busts popping up as well. Thanks for the opinions everyone, I'll probably get one of them now and the rest later on (damned monthly bandwidth limits).
can u write some words about this tuts plz?

I got the Intro to Mech design Series which consists of 4 chapters.Every chapter focusing on certain aspect of mech design from thumbnailing techniques to shape explorations even making variation of joints and sketching.
The videos are recorded sessions I believe from a Red Engine Workshop so he's live demoing to students and occasionally he would get questions as to how and why he does the thing he does and I liked it because he explains his thought process why he designs his mechs that way.I also like the fact that every chapter he gives some assignment and you could sort of follow along and apply the techniques he demonstrated.
Overall its a great guide/tutorial for designing mechs and exploring aesthetically and functioning mechs.The biggest takeaway for me are the techniques he showed on how to come up with interesting shapes for the mechs.Each video is a little less than an hour so its bite size,The lighting in the videos are a bit dim though but not blurred or anything unwatchable.You could easily see what he's doing and same goes for audio its clear and audible.
Hope that helps
Seems pretty mainstream but sort of expensive when comparing to other tuts, so I wanted some input before committing.
210% worth the purchase. Same goes for Maciej Kuciara's. Marek's are also very entertaining to watch because he maintains a fun attitude during his voiceover. Definitely not the kind of tutorial you'd fall asleep watching. All the techniques shown are good and helpful, and the knowledge shared stacks nicely from the first video all the way through the fourth. Definitely a must-buy in my book.
damn I think you convinced me. You are good at selling stuff.
Any other recommendations?

He has an awesome youtube channel with free videos tho
Definitely one of the best free resources for concept paiting on the web:

Haha well, if I may toot my own horn for a sec... myself and a buddy are currently working on a whole series involving designing, drawing, painting and eventually sculpting and modeling some cyberpunk characters, covering several different methods and approaches for you to try out. Here's a sneak peak from one of our test recordings:
I'm also going to be doing a whole weapon design one, going over some industrial design theory that will help you in doing studies of pretty much anything machine-made, followed by several approaches to thumbnailing, painting and eventually modeling the weapon. I know John Park already did a weapon design one, but I wanted to cover some other approaches, techniques and more technical industrial design info so it wouldn't be redundant. Finally I'm going to show how to comp the weapon into one of the character illustrations done in one of the character tutorials we're working on.
As for stuff currently available... I found Lance Wilkinson's ZBrush/Keyshot tutorials to be really helpful, as well as Kirill Chepizhko's. Maciej's and Marek's are all must-buy's, and if you like technical info and not just watching people paint for $10 you'll really like Marek's latest one, where he talks a bit about principles of particles and applies it to how he paints falling debris, smoke, fire, embers, etc. There are some other good ones and I've bought a ton but haven't gotten a chance to really sit through them to give them honest reviews.
Hey guys, shameless self-plug, but I thought I'd post it in case anybody may find it useful. I released my first gumroad videos earlier today, on a practical beginners guide to Modo 801 navigation, interface, and customization. It was more for my 2D friends, but I thought it may benefit some other people as well. If you're interested, I'd love to hear feedback. I'm new to the tutorial world. Hope some people can find it useful

NICE!
He created a private community with paid-acces (10$) and buys all tuts by clubbing together. The most idiotic thing is that he's a professional artist (from Russia). How can he not respect their colleagues?
Think need to spread this information about that person to protect other artists from any kind of partnership with him.
His mail is mail@alienhead.ru
