Artist Resources: Digital

If you are someone who works with a computer when it comes to your art here is a valuable list of resources you can use. Maybe you touch up your pieces in Photoshop, or you use Illustrator to make digital works. Whatever the case, I hope some of these resources can be helpful. I’ve also included some quality sites with tutorials for web design, because eventually most of us need resources to learn or look up information on how to make a “home” online.

Tutorial Sites: sites on which you can find step-by-step instructions on how to complete a project in a certain software.
The following are tutorial sites with other resources.
