Using MSPaint is a great idea for beginners... then they can truly appreciate photoshop.
Eg: I used MSPaint for making banners and editing for a year. Therefore: Photoshop = God. (Even if I'm still learning).
I'm also one of those people who learn by themselves.... by asking people xD
Right.......don't use 3DS Max K. Photoshop is much better and just about anythin can be done in it (with patience). Besides if you aint mastered photoshop you aint got a chance in 3DS Max . And especially for XSephirothX I'm gonna do baby steps .
