Sijun Forums :: View topic - High-quality tutorials

First of all, I'm not sure if this violates any of the forum rules. If it does, delete the topic please.

Now, we were really sick that all the good tutorials are decentralized on artist websites, so we created a website that would have all the good art tutorials uploaded, so that people can find them easily.

http://www.outofpaint.com/

You can just read, or contribute your own tutorials. We have just 2 tutorials up now, so contributions are very much appreciated. It also is completely free so you're not losing anything.

Well, our website is quite different. The thing that you've posted is just LINKS to tutorials that are on other websites, the links can die, move, etc. This is just hosted on 1 website, so there's no chance of broken links, etc.

Plus, outofpaint has a RSS feed so you can keep track of new tutorials without visiting the site.

ckeu - be positive - there's still a lot of great stuff there, and if the link appears broken then Google the reference; you might get lucky.

Good idea! I'm checking the tutorials now..

One thing that stood out on your site. The dark grey font on black background is quite difficult to read (however stylish it may be).

Also another small thing, clicking the image doesn't open the tutorial (you need to click the header), which is a bit odd, I first thought the links are not working yet.

Thanks for the comments guys, I've fixed the images so that they link to the articles. Though, I don't know about the text color, I will have to ask more people about that, because it looks readable enough on my screen right now.

Well the readability of the text depends on the gamma or brightness of your monitor.

Mine is fairly bright I think (I like to paint dark stuff), so chances are someone else can't read it without highlighting the text with a mouse.
