   Does anyone know of any good tutorials? I'm having a bit of trouble finding any. I did a search here but couldn't find much, and the web doesn't seem of much help either. I'm sure I am not looking the right way though. I really want to put some custom textures into my portfolio to make it more appealing. I was hoping to…

   I don't mean to be rude here... but why do you feel like you need a tutorial to explain this? Maybe some tips or something for a specific task, but do you really need somebody to explain in detail how to do something before you try it out?

   @Slum - no offense taken. I guess what I was looking for was seeing a professional in action, their techniques and style. I know that I should just sit down and practice, practice, practice but I was hoping to get a good starting point before I do that.
