I stumbled across Pugly Pixel while searching for quick and easy Photoshop tutorials. Pugly Pixel is ran by Katrina, who has created a great selection of freebies for download. She also offers services/extras for a very reasonable charge.  I’m really impressed by her clear instructions and the short and sweet projects she offers. The “freebies” section of her site include tutorials, downloadable images, and blog layouts. This is such a great resource for those just starting out in Photoshop. Here are few of my favorite tutorials:

This tutorial (which includes a screencast) teaches you how to add custom arrows to your photos and includes freebie downloads. These arrows would be great for presentations, or adding information to photos.

This tutorial walks you through how to create staples, or if you want to skip the tutorial, you can scroll to the end and download. This is a pretty simple tutorial and the use for these is almost endless.

This tutorial shows you how to make tileable wallpaper. I hope you enjoyed this roundup, and be sure to check out Pugly Pixel for more great photoshop treats and downloads.
