I recently got a Wacom Bamboo tablet and I've found this really good tutorial on how to paint with Photoshop. Unlike all those speed painting videos, this one really show you the basics.

Hopefully, I'll be able to put all these techniques to good use and be able to post some new art here soon.

Thanks for posting that video. It's going to come in very handy when my new tablet arives. I'm so excited to finaly upgrade beyond my mouse.

How do you like y our Bamboo? Which model do you have?

I got the Bamboo Capture, which is a pretty basic tablet. I wanted to make sure I would enjoy drawing with a tablet before I invested in something bigger and more expensive. So far I'm liking it a lot but I'm still getting the hang on drawing good lines with it.

I never took any art classes so I developped some bad drawing habits that I need to get rid of. For example, I used to draw long curving lines by doing a series of short strokes with a pencil and while the result was pretty good on paper, doing the same with stylus is just not an option. Luckily Ctrl+Paint has tons of videos on loosening up and drawing from elbow/shoulder so I should get better soon.
