Does anyone know of any good online tutorials for CS2?

What specifically are you looking for? Seriously...there's so much stuff out there, some of it good, some of it bad. What is it you're looking for in particular?

If you're looking for Photoshop painting tutorials, you don't need information specific to CS2. Anything for versions 7, CS, or CS2 will suffice. Even tutorials for version 6 and below will be helpful; the brush engine is just a little different. Do you want help with the technical side of Photoshop, or help with your artistry itself? If it's the latter, try posting some of your work for critique. There are some very helpful critics on this site.

Here's the bottom line: don't try anything too complex for now. I'm talking about the technicalities; you're free to paint anything, no matter how complex. But keep your workflow simple for a little while. Pick colors, go in with brushes that seem appropriate, paint in what you want, do some blending, do some texturing, etc. Don't try to make Photoshop do anything too fancy, unless you've got a lot of Photoshop experience already.
