Right, I'm planning on opening a new thread for user created tutorials and I need to know who is interested and thinks it is a good idea... or a bad idea. Also for it to work, I obviously need some good tutorials so if anyone would be kind to make one can you please PM me and let me know what you are planning.

There are not many rules to this, only that the tutorial has to be folow-able and the demanstrational images have to be created by you to evliviate and copyright issues (I dont want to drop drawspace in it). The media is anything that you are proficiant in, not just drawing.

I think it will be a great feeling for the members that post tutorials when other people use them and submit the finshed piece and say a thanks. It will make it worthwhile. Also as good as the drawspace lessons are, they can only be so many because of the limited number of people behind them. If members of the forum make tutorials there will be loads and it will attract atention to the site from google searches.

Ok, end of my wittle... thanks for reading and let me know what you think

I think that it is a GREAT idea! I wouldn't be one to give a tutorial but I will definitely use one

Thanks, thats good to hear At the moment I need some people to make tutorials, Im aiming for five tutorials that I will open the thread with so if anyone wants to make one let me know. Obviously I cant open an empty thread

I have made a dragon tutorial a long time ago and posted it ...and did another one cant remember what that was .. was wanting to work on one with glass but its alot of work to go step by step but I will be willing to offer one up if you get your other names .

Thanks, I hope I will get other people

Kim,
Yes, definitely your dragon tutorial would be great for this! I know I enjoyed it. I think the member tutorials is an excellent idea.

Kim it was the Bubble

It is a great idea. I am not one to give a tutorial, but I am one to use them.

I'm going to do one for my eye that I drew for the last challange. The origional's in my gallery, it wont be exactly the same as I have to start again to scan it step by step.

thank you ....yes the bubble lol ...the dragon looks great .

Jamie, this is a great idea to create a pinned archive of lessons - perhaps if the creators are happy to have you do it there might be some way to pull up old tut's and be able to load only the Tutorial posts.

I for one love tutorials, but find it extremely tedious on dial-up (I have no choice to upgrade) to troll through a great deal of questions and repetitious praise (no matter how deserving the praise is - I don't begrudge it - its just hard to plow through it all). So if there is some way to have the tutorial thread and then a seperate comments thread that would be terrific. If a question is really salient and deserves comment on the tutorial then perhaps the Tute writer can include the question and an answer ( or just the answer) in a post on the tutorial.

I have lots of drawing tutorials that I've created. I'm a new member and unable to post links but just click on my signature and then click on "tutorials" on my site. I've spent a lot of time putting them together so I hope they benefit someone

Cool Brian!

Brian a lot of us did the Green Apple Tutorial and I did the Zippo lighter ..I think Kim did it too and I think Jamie will be doing it too.. She asked me where I got the tutorial.. How fun That you are here !
Thanks so much for your tutorials.. They are awesome !
Carol

Hi Carol. That's awesome!! I'm glad that people are doing the tutorials. There will be more in the future, I promise

YIPPIE !!

hey i havent seen these tutorials, will you please show me where they are?

DOH! nevermind, I found them, I put them in my favorites for when I am more up to it..thanks very much, and what a great looking site you have

i have been browsing your tutorials and am very very impressed with your work, and teaching skills too. I love the way you did the portrait tutorial especially..well done and thanks for sharing your skills with us here on drawspace!

She He asked me to

Lol, Im a he not a she

Oh and Im back off my camping trip so Ill crack on with this pinned tutorial topic. Also bigs, a seperate topic for responses sounds good.. It will keep it clean and less cluttered.

Glad you like the idea Jamie.

The only type of tutorial / article that I have done is one on another site on how to make a mini watercolour palette for a sketch kit (or just to keep in your pocket ) for when the need arises.

If you would like it here just let me know how, where & when & I can post it.

I would like it I'll just ask kim if I can make two sticky topics then we can start... one for tutorials and one for the outcomes.

Oops sorry on the gender booboo.. The Flower Avatar didn't help.. perhaps a pic of you or a self portrait or a well you get the idea..

Sue I can only imagine the problems you are going through.. Dial up is like thick Syrup !! I can't imagine ever having to go back to those days. I bet you miss a lot of really great threads having to weed thru the comments..

The worst thing Carol is that if anyone sends a movie clip or You Tube reference it can take more than 30 mins to download.........so I get pretty picky about what I bother to look at.

Will you never be able to get High Speed where you are ? I understand what you mean .. That has to be one of those start the download and go cook supper.. You may get to see it after dessert.. Bless you heart..

Jamie the avatar is much better.. my ex's mother named him Bobbie.. He got the same treatment.. When I would make bank deposits for him at the drive up window.. they would say to me.. Thank you Bobbie.. too hard to explain so I would just give them my Southern smile and say your welcome..

lol..we too had that stinking dial up for years..they recently got dsl here on this end of the state but up north they still do not have it. and god the dial up was awful you would wait an hour for something to download, just about get it finished and 'BUMP' there you go..bumped offline...ARGGGH....i hated that..LOL..I could not imagine having to go 'back' to dial up..

LOL, I'm still on dial up too. It's super annoying. Luckily my girlfriend has high speed so whenever I need to download anything big I just go to her house
