Here is a PDF of the Disney Animation Style Guide from Mulan.

This is the kind of booklet you would receive if you were hired to do concept art for animation/visual development.

It reads like an advanced "How to compose for drawing" book with a focus on style, shape, and all the other foundational elements.

Hi - This is a stroke smoothing app (windows only) - i've only tested it with photoshop so far but it's great.

It helps you get very clean curves without jitter - great for vehicle concepting if you are lacking a cintiq.

I'll start by saying this, because I went entirely too long without reading this tutorial myself:
Do not be deceived by the overwhelming layers of cuteness and the author's pokemon obsession- she is a working pro who knows EXACTLY what she is talking about. Buried in between the (admittedly beautiful) lisa-frank-meets-studio-ghibli-in-pokemon-land images that crowd her dA gallery are some incredible realist illustrations and concepts if you don't believe me.
This is the single best and most useful tutorial on color theory I have ever found, period. In the span of a couple dozen panels of a free flash presentation I picked up more about actually USING color theory than I have from some of the books I paid for.
http://purplekecleon.deviantart.com/art/How-I-See-Color-A-Tutorial-184642625
Starting from the basics the author walks you through a crash course in applied color theory, all the way up to clear and useful explantions of things like using harmony and discord and manipulating relative color perception! What makes this tutorial so brilliant is that it isn't just about the theory, but about how to put it all together, and then put it to work. Seriously, Go read this now if you have the slightest interest in color. This info in this tutorial is worth exceeding the daily recommended chibi exposure.

put all my tumblr links (and all the tumblr stuff Mike posted up there) on a page and tried to put it in categories. http://livestreamstatuslist.appspot.com/Resources.html
maybe making another page for other resources but for the moment it is tumblr only.

RE: POST USEFUL RESOURCES HERE - Wolkenfels - 05-07-2013

great page with thousands of 3d models that can be viewed and rotated in the browser. good source for the artist that just needs a little help for the correct view of a plane from the left or a castle from above...

I made this mobile phone app to help with drawing hands in tricky poses, mostly because I got tired of trying to use a mirror to reference my drawing hand. Still doesn't beat the real thing but it'll do in a pinch. Also added a rotatable male head for some quick lighting reference stuff too.
