Free Photoshop Tutorials, Brushes, Actions and Texture - Patterns

After receiving some positive feedback to my last work "yuka" I decided to write a detailed tutorial about creating process. My main goal was to create a painting which was really detailed. I knew that I would not be able to do it without a real photograph so I started to look for something that would interest me and make me want to spent a lot of hours painting it in photoshop.
