I've been wondering...where have you guys learned all your graphic skills? Did you take classes, read books, online tutorials, or were you just good to start with? Please, tell us of your learning path! ( I want to know how and where you learned...because I want to learn to make cool stuff too!!)

I learned my graphic "skills" (although I'm not very skillful with photoshop) through well, this site! I learned CSS, HTML, PHP, and SQL through reading books and the MySQL manual (I'm not done with the MySQL manual yet so don't tell me how it ends ).

started with some tutorials over @ flashkit, then went to the bookshop and closed myself inside for a few days.. I'm mostly buying books now.
Learn the basics.. do your own thing.

Learned Photoshop basics in school a few years ago, but within a few months i was teachin the class

the rest was just tutorials from great sites like this and dA, and experimenting on my own!

i followed some ps tuts over at stealthdesignz, and once i knew the basics, i made my own stuff and learned my way up.

I started with tuts, then picked up a few photoshop books, now I teach myself.

Started only a few weeks ago - basically was watching one of the 3d modellers do his magic at the games company where I work and figured I'd try my hand at it. P2l was probably the first tutorial site I came across, but so far it's been the only one I've needed!

[Shock]

What I do know I've basically learned myself like most others here. I started out with MS-Paint when I was about 11-12 and just kept going up from there, and still am. Of course the tutorials really help you to get a jump-start on your own creativity.

I wasa pretty much self taught. The only tutorials i ever looked at were from Robouk (for thoes that remember it) and eyesondesign... everything else, pretty much moine and inspiration
