This morning’s post in the How to Get Your Creative Groove On series focused on the importance of expanding your skill set to increase creativity. While dedicated tutorial blogs are difficult to find, there are many excellent blogs by fellow creatives willing to share the knowledge. Here are ten great tutorial blogs to help you get started:
- Line25. http://line25.com. This blog is a new favorite of mine. It has an entire category dedicating to providing simple, user friendly tutorials for advanced creative and techie applications.
- Design View. http://andyrutledge.com. Andy provides incredible design insight and industry experience. His posts are in depth and are a great tool for developing your design skills.
- Decor8. http://decor8blog.com. Founder Holly Becker wrote a really insightful ten-week creativity series and occasionally features really fun tutorials.
- Mary Gatling. http://marygatling.com. Mary is an artist and writer, and she facilitates creativity workshops. Through her blog Mary shares her art, creativity insights, and mini-tutorials in which she demonstrates how she achieved specific painting effects.
- Tutorial Blog. http://www.tutorialblog.org. TutorialBlog covers the widest range of tutorial topics pertaining to artists and creatives that I have found. You can find tutorials for everything from Photoshop to PowerPoint to SEO optimization. Fantastic general tutorials blog.
- DIY Photography. http://www.diyphotography.net. This site is an incredible tool for Photographers. I recognized the top post immediately as my husband just made his own snoot. (If you don’t know what that is, you definitely want to visit this site and find out!)
- Tutorial 9. http://www.tutorial9.net. This is a great site for free tutorials about web and photography. Some of it is basic, but they cover a wide spectrum of topics.
If you have a favorite blog that features tutorials for creatives, please post it in the comments!

I really like the list, so I want to note that link 2 is broken (I had to manually add a : after the http) and like five says nothing but “domain for sale”.

Carina – Thanks for letting me know! I was able to fix the links yesterday morning. Hopefully didn’t frustrate too many people!
Hannah – I’m glad you enjoyed this list! There are many excellent creativity blogs out there, and I always appreciate when a fellow artist or creative is willing to share how they were able to achieve a certain effect, etc.
