Hey guys, these tutorials will hopefully help a lot of people with their texturing. If there is something odd or wrong somewhere in this thread please notify me.
Dirt
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter colour and make your brush/pencil transparent, then start making round shapes.
Step three: Choose an even lighter colour and highlight the shapes to make them stick out.
Step four: Choose a very dark colour and shade under the shapes to make them stick out even more.
Optional: If you think your texture looks plain, try adding a noise filter. Don't use too much noise!
Note: This dirt is really dark, you might want to make yours lighter.
Sand
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter colour and make your brush/pencil transparent, then make some curvy lines.
Step three: Choose an even lighter colour and highlight the lines to make them stick out.
Step four: Choose a very dark colour and shade under the lines to make them stick out even more.
Optional: If you think your texture looks plain, try adding a noise filter. Don't use too much noise!
Note: The sand tiles really bad, but it's just for demonstration.
Wood
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter colour and make your brush/pencil transparent, then make some lines.
Step three: Choose a very dark colour and shade by the lines and on the sides of the log.
Step four: Choose a light colour and add some more lines, don't make them too bright.
Optional: If you think your texture looks plain, try adding a noise filter. Don't use too much noise!
Planks
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter colour and make the planks
Step three: Choose a dark colour and shade on the bottom.
Step four: Choose a light colour and add some highlights, then choose a dark colour and shade under the planks to make them stand out more.
Optional: If you think your texture looks plain, try adding a noise filter. Don't use too much noise!
Stone
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter colour and make your brush/pencil transparent, then start making round shapes.
Step three: Choose an even lighter colour and highlight the shapes to make them stick out.
Step four: Use the light colour and brush a little in the darker areas to make it look smoother.
Optional: If you think your texture looks plain, try adding a noise filter. Don't use too much noise!
Pixel Art Stone
Step one: Choose a dark base colour.
Step two: Choose a lighter color and make the shapes.
Step three: Choose a colour that's between the dark and the light one, and draw on the sides of the shapes.
Step four: Choose a very light colour and outline the top of the shapes so it looks more 3D.
Step five: Choose a little darker colour and highlight the shapes.
Ore (Embedding)
Step one: This is supposed to be the stone you've created.
Step two: Make the shape of the ore.
Step three: Choose a light colour that will be visable on your stone and make lines under the ore.
Also choose a darker colour and make lines above the ore and some cracks.
Step four: Choose a lighter colour than before and make highlights on the light lines and on the ore. Same goes for the dark lines but with a darker colour.
Note: You can use a transparent brush, I just used pixel art for demonstrating.

Which block should I make a tutorial of next?
Hope it helped!
Which block?
Ok
My wip 32x texture pack.
Side grass or top grass?
Top grass.
My wip 32x texture pack.
Okay.
don't expect me to be on much.
You see that green button with the plus? You dont have to click it, and I am not gonna force you to do it.
Grayscale stone isn't great, always have a little color in it (rock contrains traces of mineral & such).
Or maybe grass (top)
don't expect me to be on much.
The simplest tutorial:
Stone is the same as dirt except a bit more gray, but with a little bit of color in it. Ore is just shapes with shadows/highlights to embed it.
*shudder*
