Texturing Resources/Guides
Here is a collection of resources myself(Andy) and John will update to help those new to handpainted texturing. As a beginner be sure to establish your Colour Palette and the Grayscale values of your texture in the first 10-20 minutes of painting your texture and ask for feedback from myself or John if your unsure of anything. When establishing your colour palette colour picking is your friend and if your struggling with drawing details be sure to have the Torchlight 2 textures on side as reference.

Establishing your palette -

To view the Torchlight 2 Textures it might be helpful to download a program called Irfanview - http://www.irfanview.com/

Irfanview can easily view various image formats and if you go to File->Thumbnails you can view the entire of the torchlight textures folder at once which will help greatly when searching for texture reference.

(PS. be sure to download the Plugins section which allows for viewing of most image formats)

Pixel art guides are also good reference for shading, as they generally use a Single dominant light source and a lot of eye candy hightlihighting which is present in the kind of handpainted artstyle we are aiming to achieve http://kiwinuptuo.deviantart.com/art/Pixel-Art-Tutorial-Human-197682505?q=favby%3Astormandy%2F42051282&qo=1

If your are struggling to get your materials to look like they should be sure to check the grayscale of your texture by desaturing it. The following guide is handy for understanding the grayscale appearance of materials types http://conceptcookie.deviantart.com/art/Getting-Started-Materials-398299197?q=gallery%3AConceptCookie%2F45696720&qo=8
