I just posted some art I did a last year for Deke McClelland’s Photoshop top 40 contest. I didn’t win anything but it was fun. Most of the stuff I’ve learned in Photoshop and Illustrator I learned for Deke’s great tutorials online at his site and through Lynda.com He shows you great in-depth techniques and has a great sense of humor doing it. I’ve also got to meet him at Photoshop World and took a few of his great classes. I can’t say enough good things about Deke. Just go by his books or DVDs and start learning how to make cool stuff now!
