Some of the most helpful stuff I picked up on was here,
cgi.tutsplus.com
http://cgi.tutsplus.com
there's some great stuff for Maya and
Zbrush here, although some of it is a little outdated.
Matthew and I also put together a little collection of some of
the most useful tutorials we've found, and there's a youtube
playlist.

A great blog post in general.

Here are a ton of great links I compiled over the years. I am a
generalist but there is probably a lot of stuff that leans
towards animation and the LA area.

Where I began to learn MEL and this is a great website (better
than digital tutors in my opinion for a lot of things) for
relatively cheap monthly fee.

Thanks for the compilation of resources!
As an aspiring artist, this makes it a lot easier than having to
go out and find people who know what they are doing and know
what they're talking about. We now have people who know what
they're doing to help us.
I'm excited to have people from industry level work critiquing
us and giving us pointers and tips! 8)
