I did a photoshop tutorial at http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/icon-design/futuristic-bicycle-icon/

I posted a picture of the final product that the tutorial taught me how to create.
The tutorial taught me how to create a picture from scratch in photoshop, using many different tools. I know how to use all of the tools, but this tutorial showed how to utilize them to make something realistic in photoshop from scratch. By using the layers, pen tools, the blur tool, and creating different shapes, I learned how to create pretty much anything that I want to. On this site there are many other tutorials and tips etc. that people can use for help learning more about design. You can even download source files to help follow along with the tutorials.
