Hi guys, so I just registered but already visited and knew about this forum, I have been learning Blender for around 1 and a half month now but I feel like the textures on my models just don't look very good, I have photoshop and I would like to create some textures with it, like grass, dirt, etc... not realistic but more like a cartoonish style, so I would really appreciate it if you could tell me about books, websites, videos where I can learn how to do this, thanks in advance

PD: Sorry if this isn't the right section to post this

For hand painted textures you will actually need to learn about digital painting. http://www.ctrlpaint.com/ this site has a lot about digital painting and teaches the basics of art.

I agree with youtube. I've seen several hand painted texture tutorials, including one with a sword that was used to demonstrate Blender's texture painting. That is actually a pretty good way to go too, even if you have photoshop. It is hard to beat directly painting on a model. And even so, the concepts you learn for handpainting textures from either photoshop style or texture paint on model style, will still apply to the other, so don't exclude that out of the tutorial search.

Thanks, I think I watched the sword tutorial some time ago, and yes, direct painting seems to be very versatile, but also if let's say, you want to create a replica of something with it's exact textures, it wouldn't work, I tried clonning but it doesn't give desired results, I will try youtube as you said.
