    REQUEST: I would like some added courses to the introductory flows on concept art. One course I would like is one that gives an overview over photoshop and the various workflows you can implement in it.

    Example topics

    * Working with layers (masks, shortcuts, overlays etc)

    * Working effectively with a tablet (shortcut setups etc)

    * Creating and saving brushes

    * Good brushes for lineart sketching up to a finished product

    Another course I would like is one that introduces the workflow of preparing and creating textures for your models rather than just using finished pre-prepared textures given to you.

    Example topics

    * Seamless textures

    * Fixing lens distortion

    * Evening out the brightness of a photograph

    * Creating normal maps, displacement maps and specular maps from a basic diffuse texture

    Lastly I would like to add that I think you guys are doing a great job and cgcookie is by far the best source for learning blender 3d among other things 🙂

    Edit: Not sure if such a course would belong here on cgcookie but tips and tricks for actually taking good photographs of floors and walls to create textures from is also a topic that deserves it’s own video.
