do youguys recommend any training books for PS7? im in GFX design 1 at my school and we went over the basics of PS, but i was looking for more in-depth things like figuring out all the different advanced techniques that can be used... i know there are a TON of books out but any particulars?

which of these should i get if i want to learn techniques for drawing by hand in PS?

[skatamatic]

if you want to draw by hand you might want to look into illustrator, it has way more features and options for stuff like that. photosop's pen tool is fairly limited.

Actually you can easily draw by hand in PS. You will have a hard time with it unless you get a tablet, though. www.wacom.com is my choice. I have an Intuos 9 x 12 and its great.

Dont know of any books that specialize in that. Check Amazon.
