Youtube, really has GREAT tutorials.. Just google around for what you are trying to accomplish and usually you will find it or find something close to it...

I don't really have the time or the talent to be a graphic designer but i am at a point where i need some knowledge in order to continue i use winpc, corel and inkscape and know just enough to survive in each program but that is it.....a lot of the problem i have is just know where to start and what will benefit me and what is a waste of time...any other suggestions would be great

 

Thanks

Advanced Artist. Lots of good tutorials, and disc. And of course PhotoShop, or Paint Shop(Corel)

 

Sorry to say, you got to put the time in any of them.
