Well, I think this would be a good thread... even sticky worthy if our art community here was a little larger.
Anyways, I think it would be nice to post up good online art tutorials we know of. I'm looking for more myself because I've got a lot to learn.

3DBuzz has some awesome 3d modeling tutorials for 3DSMax and Maya and others, some of them free, over at www.3dbuzz.com

And even more if you subscribe.

They are quite literally the best tutorials I have ever looked at, and I have looked at probably more than any other human being on earth.

Do After Effects tutorials count too?

If so:

Video CoPilot (http://videocopilot.net) (the best source imo)

AeTuts (http://ae.tutsplus.com/)

Does anyone know where I may find good anatomy references, head positions, and facial expressions?

For some reason I have yet to come across a good tutorial on human proportions.
