Getting into graphics

[Fang]

Well as the title states, I'm kind of interested in starting graphics. Only problem is, I really don't know where to begin So I was wondering, does anyone have any tutorials on how to begin or suggestions on what program I should use? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

YouTube is your friend.
Just start with installing photoshop for now, then you can progress into other software.

Gimp is a bit LQ but usable program for beginners. I directly started with photoshop though

As @Astro said, youtube is really good help when you're just starting out.

The programs I recommend are; Photoshop, Cinema 4D, Gimp and Illustrator.

@Astro can be your mentor. He does hand-drawn art as well as computing GFX. I like hand-drawn more to be honest.

Well, it depends on what you want to learn how to do. If you want to learn how to do tags then you search around for that. If you want to make 3D art then you search around for that.

I recommend Photoshop CC for program, or any of the newer versions. Its expensive, but you can probably find a few hundred cracks all over the internet. If you want help then I know that Adobe offers several help videos for beginners and you always have Youtube and other media sites. ( DeviantART has some useful text/image tutorials as well. )

Photshop, C4D and Ai is pretty much all you need bro. I learned a lot from slowing down people speedarts lol.

I got started with Photoshop first, but Paint.NET is a very good alternative. STAY AWAY FROM GIMP.

It takes a little bit of time to get the hang of the basics of graphics design. Once you do, you'll be enjoying it.

Everything I know is self-taught. I played around with it until I got comfortable. Just be creative.
