Here's a nice resource for GIMP users:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/126
It's a plugin that loads Photoshop brushes on GIMP. Of course, it won't load all photoshop brushes, but it will load most of them.
EDIT:
Seems like GIMP 2.6 and above can dopen abr files without the plugin above, so at least you know now.

Okay, I've updated with the new links. I think brushes are okay to include when the link is refering to collections (just so I don't have list all the brushes that exist XD)

I've also updated with this link http://natasha2808.deviantart.com/#/d52omh6 THAT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A LOOK AT SINCE IT SHOWS A LOT OF COMMON MISTAKES (especially the fear section).

Man, all of these links are incredibly handy. Thank you muchly!

I'm so glad I got a tumblr because I just stumbled upon this beauty >_> It's a tumblr blog collecting a bunch of art references and tutorials, very interesting and handy.

Wow, that is excellent. I have seen quite a few of the pieces on Tumblr but to have them all gathered in one place is so useful. I'm really tempted to save them all out and orgainise them into folders XD

This isn't really a tutorial but it's about facial structure and why when people transition from anime to a different style they tend to have "long face syndrome"

Not 100% relevant to this thread, but didn't want to make an entirely new thread. I was wondering if anyone here knows a library/site/tumblr with lots of fashion portraits, or j-fashion/k-fashion sites? I've been looking for some for practice and most of the sites Google throw at me have very little of them. Something like a photoblog?

Have you checked out lookbook? http://lookbook.nu/

[Zylinder]

Yes, looking for something like that (or with face shots instead), thank you very much!
