The internet contains some of the best and most useful resources for any artist and the best part is... you don't even have to pay! (most of the time). I use DeviantArt for most if not all of my stock, brush, shape and tutorial resources. Everyone on there is pretty reasonable with their stock/tools, 99% of the resource suppliers just ask for a little credit for their part. On this page I thought I would credit those people who work thanklessly to provide us a service and so that you can find those resources useful. SHARE KNOWLEDGE.

I only use DeviantArt. There are a wide variety of images and haven't every really found the need to go else where for my stock image needs, but I have included some others for interests sake.

• DeviantArt - Stock Images
  
• iStockPhoto
• stock.xchng
• Getty Images
• BIG STOCK
• Jupiter Images

Again, I am a stickler for convenience and DeviantArt provides that with its lovely and complete gallery of tools, most of which I have downloaded and installed. The "technicality" of the tools side of things is you don't have to credit the maker cause your just using the tool to create an original artwork.

• DeviantArt - Application Resources
• PSD BOX - Brushes and Shapes

Are the best way to learn. Even if you don't make project that a tutorial teaches you can use the knowledge to learn new skills to use in the future.

• DeviantArt - Tutorials
• PSD BOX
• Photoshop Tutorials

Thank you everyone that put in the hard yards so I could create something beautiful. :)
