1.) Read. Read. Read. :) The tutorials here are very good. 2.) Play. Play around with bryce. I learbed the most by playing without thinking of a special image I want to create. Often I play around without savin the results -no prob, because I will use what I've learned in later works. 3.) Study the galery. Often you can learn from other artist. Look how they set the Field of view, how they use light, fog, textures to archive great images. Feel free to ask if something is unclear. The artists here are very friendly and helpful, as I mentioned by myself. That's it for the start - I hope it will help you. I'm looking forward to your first image! Take care, Jimi p.s.: I started with Bryce and the whole 3D-Art only weeks ago , too. :)
