folioacademy.com is a website that sells video tutorials in a wide range of mediums. From painting in acrylics, photoshop, watercolors, oils and sculpting. To beginning drawing, perspective drawing, digital inking and coloring in corel painter, and How to draw Monsters, Aliens, and Dinosaurs!

I became aware of this website. Because I previously bought Will Terry's "Digital Painting in Photoshop" video from his personnel website. He now only sells his videos through folioacademy.com. The website has just been updated and is easier to navigate.

Video prices range from $9.99 to $29.99. And work on both Mac, and PC computers.  The video works on all versions of iphones, ipods, ipads, and other smartphone devices. I also like that they use paypal for money transaction. Which means your credit card is secure.

Cryptcrawler video tutorial by Brad Rigney


TheArtDepartment.org

Theartdepartment.org Is an online school teaching both digital and traditional media. They have drastically reduced the prices for their video tutorials. Videos which used to cost $20 are now $6.99 each. They have over 36 videos covering painting faces, inking, portraits, character design, painting cloths, perspective, and creature design. The gem in the bunch has to be Brad Rigney (Cryptcrawler). I actually paid the full price for this video, $60 over a year ago. Brad starts the video with a mini tutorial teaching his own techniques on how to paint. After you practice his technique your ready to start the main tutorial, which is over four hours long. Below is a link to the Cryptcrawler youtube commercial. It has a speed painting sample of what you will paint.

Carlos Cabrera is a freelance illustrator and concept designer from Argentina. He has great fantasy art character tutorials, that you can download onto your computer, ipod, and ipad for free. His style is loose and painterly. You have to have some basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop to complete his tutorial. The videos are not narrated, its more like a slow pace speed painting tutorial. You have to watch carefully on which tools he is using and brush setting.
