The next section has quick tips and steps to create common textures, such as clouds, water, rock, dirt, trees, rain, fire, smoke, hair, skin, and many more.
It's helpful in the sense that you'll know what's the correct tool to use when you think of certain effects you want to create. You can easily follow along to learn the techniques and get yourself familiar with the painting tools used. The tutorials look at various art styles, such as landscapes, stylised illustration, speed-painting, working with traditional sketches or photos, cartoons, etc. The third section has several full length tutorials from contributing artists. Again, the content is written in a simple and easy to gasp manner for beginners with no art knowledge. It's a very informative section that has steps that you can follow along. He covers light and colour, composition, perspective and depth and other subjects. The next section there's Christopher Peters who talks about the basic techniques in art theory. Anyway, the interface should look more or less the same. The software version used in the book is Photoshop Elements 12 and at the time of this writing, version 13 is already out (and cheaper). If you're new, you'll get up to speed quickly. It's for the beginners so it assumes no prior knowledge with the software. In the first section, there's Rich Tilbury introducing the interface and painting tools available for Photoshop Elements. The plastic slipcase cover is gone and the book's also less expensive. I've reviewed the earlier one Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting in Photoshop also and the presentation format is similar with this book. Here's another beginner's guide from publisher 3DTotal.
