I'm going to download a free trial of photoshop CS3. I want to know where to start teaching myself how to use it.
How do I start? Do I scan a sketch and work with it from there, clean it up or whatever? Would I just eyeball the sketch and try and duplicate it?
What tools are going to be my bread and butter? Which ones will I want to avoid? Where do i find the former?
For reference, look at my Flickr. Those are the types of ideas I want to be able to use, particularly that first one with the western robot thing and one with the hand spider thingy.

I would definetly make sure you scan i clean, carefully inked and erased drawings so you can get better results in photoshop. You're other option is to learn how to work with vectors.(Inkscape is a free vector graphic editor that works pretty well.

All about me

Why pluck one string?
What good is just one note?
Oh, one string sounds fine I guess, and we were once 'one notes'.
We were lonely wheat, quietly ground into grain
(What light and momentary pain!)
So why this safe distance, this curious look?
Why tear out single pages when you can throw away the book?
Why pluck one string when you can strum the guitar?
Strum the guitar!
