Baphomets Fluch 2.5

Try it with some tutorials, maybe these ones are helpful: http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials. Otherwise use google.com.

the first thing you need is a bit of talent ;)
then you will need software!
- photoshop
- painter
- gimp
...
any graphic software will do the job (except ms paint maybe)

and a mouse/graphicpad

and now you have to paint :D everybody has his own coloringstyle which is also depending on if the resulting image should be cartoonish or realistic.
basic steps i'd say are:
- basic coloring -> just paint the flat colors
- shading/gloss -> here you should keep in mind where the lightsource is located
- texturing -> dirst,bumps,hair,details
- more shading and gloss
- finishing -> tweaking the colortones and contrast (in ps you can do this with setting-layers)

and now do some art.
