Description is there a specific name to this? probably not.

I've seen a lot of artists lately whining about this. Especially those "self taught" artists. That's fine and all, but tutorials actually do help. They're like a way for artists to communicate with each other and share ideas. It's like people to be inspired by a person or company.
Tutorials have personally helped me in a lot of background elements and anatomy. It helps if you don't copy the artist completely - you are supposed to improve on your own terms.

I can't agree more to this! Tutorials helped me a lot. Even though I mostly do traditional art, but some digital art tuts helped me too. I need all the help I can get eheh!

I consider my self 50% self-taught; I look up a lot of tutorials, but most of the time I teach myself how to draw things. The only real things I struggle with (which takes up most of my tutorials that I use) is humans, animations, and emoticons. So I suppose it's 50/50 split of how I learned...

I think some people avoid tutorials because there are also a lot of people who make them, who shouldn't be making them because they don't have the knowledge for it and they're just teaching others how to make their own mistakes basically. There are some really good and helpful tutorials that some people make who really know what they're talking about and have a good understanding in the subject they're showing, but as usual the bad always outweighs the good in this site.
