This reminds me of the time I taught myself photography through online resources. All of the 'photo' tutorials taught how to use the camera, which a) doesn't teach you fundamentals on what makes a good picture and b) is not necessary with modern cameras.

What I found much more useful was tutorials on how to paint, because they started off by teaching artistic fundamentals, such as composition, colors, etc.
