I agree with and did the same as Digital_Mischief. Start in baby steps.

I also agree with FragmentedFortunes about tutorials written by people who already know the program well and therefore tend to skip some seamingly minor steps which are important to a newbie.

I will add to don't be afraid to experiment; look under every menu and try every icon to see it's effects. What's the worste that could happen anyway.........EEEEK! MY PC is on fire!

Treat it like a PC game before you treat it like an art tool. Always be curious and have fun.

Also GeekatPlay (www.geekatplay.com) have good video tutorials on Daz Studio.
