A list of websites that every artist should visit
I have finally decided to compile a list of websites that young illustrators might find helpful. These links include illustration forums, helpful resources, tools and art tutorials. I choose sites that seemed the most helpful and informative. As a starting artist, it can be tough out there. To those of us who are not sure where to begin, finding that starting point can be a blessing. That is why I decided to sort through my bookmarks and pull out the most useful, up-to-date resources I could find. There are also many more resources that I am still discovering everyday. You can start with these and explore further on. Have a great journey.

Nice list. Wish I had stumbled upon a list like this when I was searching for all this information.
I’ve used Gotprint.com for my business cards and they turned out great. Plus their prices are really low.
Another helpful illustration advice blog is http://tradesecrets.wordpress.com/ and it’s run by illustrator Meg Hunt (meghunt.com) and she shares helpful tips she’s come across herself as she builds her illustration career.
