    Uhhh, theres no secret to texturing...sure some people are faster than others but handpainting is handpainting...just practice and use lots of reference. might help to show ur texture for more specific advice. theres no "get better at texturing in 5 minutes" secret that anyone on here can tell you. Even the best painters will tell you...paint for years...that's the secret.

    Do some color theory studying first. then learn to paint in values (grey-scale). If you can paint a 2d canvas to accurately represent 3 dimensionality, you'll be halfway there. Then take on color.

    Just do a simple shield or weapon in the beginning, anything more will be more daunting.

    And yes, the Tyson Murphy stuff is a great place to start.

    The rest is just practice.
