Hello Fine Gentleladies of TWHL(I jest!), I am sick of my Avatar, a recolored Scott Pilgrim I recolored a year or so ago. So I am looking to create my own original one using Photoshop. Sadly, I suck ass at it, I can do some basic stuff. But really I can't use it worth shit, so here is the main question, does anyone know any good beginner Photoshop tutorials? And the idea of making a journal wasn't mine. It was CTs, get mad at him. But in all seriousness, any help would be appreciated, any beginner tutorial would help, google is being a dick and all these advanced tutorials are coming up, even when I put in beginner. Thanks in advance!

Photoshop is just for coloring if you dont have a tablet, you will hardly draw good with a mouse.
But you can try. And you do need to know how to draw.

But for photo manipulation, you can use just your mouse, but dont expect anything too perfect.

I'm wondering just how "beginner" you're trying to go. If you just mean getting good at painting, then aside from learning the basics of layers and the brushes, there's very little to teach. The best thing to do is to just jump right in and doodle around. Do lots of experimenting! Try all the brushes!

Photoshop can seem daunting because of its multitude of tools, but odds are you will only ever use 5% of them. Once you figure out what those are and where they are it's a breeze.
