Most of the links posted are mostly either references or tools, with some of it are commonly available and thus, easy to look for. I'll get to cataloging them when I got the time.

Arnold's encyclopedia of body building is also something to take in even if it is obsolete (I gave my copy to an artist who used it to prop up the corner of his couch, allowing I'd always be around as a physical model..). Still a god machine for those who want to begin mastering the body.

I believe 変態's links on the generals had some for you , but you'll got to do a little digging through it to find it . Otherwise , I'll see if I can find those that aren't linked to the other forums (I guess it's not permitted here) .

https://wordcounter.net/ - A tool for word counts . Any useful , writers ?
Anyways , once this thread has enough helpful links (lets say about 30-50) , I'll start organizing them according to their respective category once I've reviewed them .
Oh and also , I'm on the fence on whether to post links from other forums since a lot of good ones comes from discussions thread made by seasoned professionals in their respective forums . Orchid ?
EDIT : I didn't notice I posted one up there already ...

Admin , please sticky this one .
As the thread says , this is a thread for dumping tips , tutorials or anything that qualifies as 'assisting on your endeavor' in becoming better found from here or outside MangaMavericks that are legitimately helpful to most if not all . How legitimate it is ? For now , I will be the one doing quality control & management of the links . So , dump away !
