Rendering by John Rauch at PensNPixels

Pretty good tutorial. Introduces vocabulary like “Cut n Grad.” You need to know this stuff to follow the more advanced tips on GutterZombie.
Update: Sorry, pensnpixels.com is gone. It’s too bad, because that site had some awesome free coloring tutorials. The best I had seen, really. If anyone knows where they went, drop me a comment to let me know.

Not exactly a tutorial, but a really good discussion about how professionals set up their files. So glad I found this! Make sure you have some good Photoshop chops before trying to follow.

Inking pencil art with Illustrator. Good lessons in here.
