Go for it and branch out! Besides the resources mentioned above (I've heard there are some good "using Photoshop" video tutorials online), maybe check out elite_tutorial for tutorials on creating certain types of fanart/manips. For vidding info, check out http://www.kekkai.org/lim/resources.html -- pointers to lots of info in one place. Many screencappers and fanartists seem happy to have others use their base pictures (fandom-specific and stock-like, such as "nature") and brushes and stuff if credited. Have fun!
