http://www.livestream.com/danielsdangerroom

Dan Warren host a live stream channel where he paints for about 8 hours a day.  This is a classroom in itself and Dan is so willing to go out of his way to make others better artists.  He will critique work and the best part is he pulls no punches, that is, he is honest direct and takes no excuse for not practicing the basics.

Dave is a self taught artist who gives his free time to forum educate.  If you have not been to crimson daggers, stop reading this and go there now.  It humbles me to see how much he has given back to the digital art community.

Sinix

http://www.youtube.com/user/sinixdesign


I just found him on youtube and deviantart, he really has done a great job offering information on industrial design, workflow, and has great links to other tutorials. One thing to remember while watching these tutorials is that without practicing the basic fundamentals of art and design, one will become frustrated, discouraged, and possibly create some very bad habits.
