ALL OOC :
Unfortunately my occupation does not give me the time to make some tutorials;)I work as a graphics-/gamedesigner in a quite small game company and weve got loads and loads of work to do;)I maybe will some day get the time to pass on a little of what ive learned so far... (Discovery is my "Recovery" mode from having to much work in my head :crazy:)
I did not really use tutorials...
The thing I have learned from is the direct action. I have become self employed when I was eighteen working as freelance 2d/3d/print designer (not beeing very succesful - it worked for an simple style living though) - having just a few years of experience doing gfx as a hobby - and working in callcenters occasionally to earn a little extra money. I fortunately got hired by this small game company in my hometown.
But dedication is everything.
If you want to learn something and have a dream of a job just ever stick to it and try to get the most out of you. The only real challenges in Graphics Business or graphic arts is that you present yourself with a challenge. Do something that youve never done before and tell everyone it is no problem. You will just see how darn quickly you learn to accomplish your goal.
That always worked for me. Sometimes a tutorial can show you something but the best you can learn from is in priority 1Challenge yourself 2Look over a Pros shoulder 3KeepOnTrying - even if it takes the whole night. Best is not to tutorial yourself to death especially in graphics software. Just try out everything until you just understand what it does completely(this applies to photoshop in specific). And then try out your Knowledge on a project you set for yourself. You cant imagine how often you will see that your skills advanced about 100%.

Just a note ;)
