Illustration Tutorials

Drawing books and tutorial sites are a dime a dozen, and I've always had a problem sitting down and actually working my way through them. I've found a few sites that I've found my self going back to again and again.

Illustration Class by Von. R. Glitschka

I've been following Glitschka's site for a while now and I can guarantee that every tutorial is top notch.  He works from his illustration comissions, and walks you through step by step starting from his inital thought process to working up a draft to the fine finish work that makes the difference between amature work and a real professional product.  You'd be well served to download a few that intest you and walk through his creative process.

DaniDraws by Dani Jones

Dani site is a more of a traditional blog with wide-ranging posts with toriials or videos about making a portfolio, to picking colors in Photoshop, to the process of making a children's book.  Every post may not intrest me, or you, but two out of three posts are exactly what I'm looking for.

Penciljack and The Drawing Board

I'm not a huge forums guy, but both of these sites are quality, with pros and amatures posting their work and exchanging an amazing number of tips for tranditional and computer asisted illustration.
