telling someone who knows nothing not to use a tutorial is retarded just because you currently dont use tutorials doesnt mean you never did. and i know you have used tutorials before.

It's not retarded, it's just wildly opinionated and optimistic.

i'm with madsoul on this one.
Give the guy widely used tutorials and... woohoo another grunge+render kiddy in the making..

DO NOT follow the tutorial to the end
DO NOT use the tutorial to do what the tutorial is doing
DO NOT use, or overuse publicly available brushes
DO take techniques and styles from various tutorials and build them into your own
DO give making your own brushes a try
DO spend as long as you want making heaps of different sigs, and when and only when, you are happy with at least 3 of them, post them up. but not to decide which one to use, or which one is best, but for other people who may be better than you, to give you honest opinions on ways you can improve your work.

I would have no problem spending several hours helping someone if that person were to show a little uniqueness and personal flair, i do however have a problem with grunge+render whores posting "omg do u like my new sig?"

I agree with Fluff. Vodka is nice.

i suprise alot of people although i could burn u massively right now im not going to since i just got unbanned for flame

I use tutorials to learn more about Photoshop, albeit rarely nowadays.
It's a good way to get your hands around the tool.

But don't replicate it to death, please.
