When it comes to art, I don't think there's a true "basic" since everything feels like it's always never enough. I still haven't gotten hold of equipment, but I've already squared away money for it. I've been so busy with tons of stuff, and I feel like I've been slacking off on this. I really want to get a solid setup down before the formal tutorials begin. Nice instructions for this though! It doesn't feel like a beginner's tutorial and yet it's very beginner friendly. The setup of the workspace is really an understated part of the artist's environment.
