Pixel Joint Forum: Guides/Books for Digital Painting?

Message

   Hey,

I've been looking all over the web and where I live for a guide or a book for digital painting, and I've found two books that might be what I'm looking for but I'd like to make sure before I purchase anything. I basically want a book that explores the different ways of doing digital painting, techniques and brushes that could be used, step-by-step WIP's by the greats to show how they do it, etc.

Has anyone had the problem of not finding what they want, and can anyone link me to a good book or guide with what i'm looking for in it?

	While they are not all together the best stuff comes from the Photoshop forums, like this one. Its just like pixelart. Nothing is all in one place. I have come to discover some awesome digital painting resources this way. From custom brushes to techniques and maipulation plugins. I doubt any book will cover all bases but the PSWOW series is always the leader for the latest.

	Wicked, thanks for that. Ben2TheEdge gave me two links: http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/tuts/process.jpg http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm About all sorts of theory and a digital painting process, seems good as well.
