The only reason I still read it is so I can find out the endings to all those plot threads.

Would love to see your 'non-newb' art that is clearly superior.

Because I doubt you'll find it. Dodge and burn is very handy, and can be used in both photography, textures, and digital coloring. They're hardly "noob" tools, as I was a noob for over two years and never used them, figuring they had no use. I'm still learning, but I find that dodge and burn are very useful and powerful tools when used.

Especially when coloring hair for putting in highlights and especially for eyes. Pen tool to start, dodge and burn to blend it better.
