aloha and a special "hi" to all the photoshop pro's out there.
so i am learning myself some photoshop stuff and i have some basic knowledges allready i gues. i have some brushes, effects a.s.o. but what i'm still missing are some good looking renders.
i know you can render pics yourself, but as i am a lazy dick i would like to ask if you have any nice and usefull render / photoshop sites where you can dload and use them for free?
i allready tried google, but as i am an idiot it spit out only shit pages concerning my render search. maybe one more thing to add: i am not interested into any manga / hentai w/e renders. i prefer some renders in the following sections; "dance" "music" "funky" "real life" "people" "abstract" "chill out"...something in that way.
are there any great photoshop sites that i should know as a "photoshoper"? prefer german sites but engrish is also fine.
thanks in advance!
Edit:
just as an example, i am looking for something in the following way, just allready rendered if possible:

Basically you just create a layer mask to a layer, then paint it with black brush which deletes the part you want to.
EDIT: Also you might want to check "magic wand", sometimes useful and fast.
best one imho
Find some tutorials on the pen-tool, it's a really diverse tool which you can use to cut out things and create vector(s/masks).
e: And on really learning Photoshop, I'd just Google for tutorials appropriate to the thing you're trying to achieve at that moment, instead of mindlessly following 100's of tutorials and copying other people's styles.
Be creative and don't stop with signatures and cool little images, but also try some page-/webdesign, typography, and other types of media to get a good hang of composition, color and dynamics.
Try googling for beautiful fonts, tutorials on how to make your own brushes and patterns, and make sure to follow a tutorial covering the entire lay-out of all the buttons, functions and shortcuts in Photoshop.
