Welcome to the Tutorial corner. Be warned: My tutorials tend to be a little long and wordy, so apologies in advance. :P Hopefully, though, this means it's less confusing. Here are the ones I've made for now. Feel free to request specific tutorials, though I can't guarantee I'll make it anytime soon. Or at all. xD They might also be a tad outdated, but should still be helpful?
