Ian Hubert's Lazy Tutorials would be an excellent supplementary series once you know some of the basics. They're not a general guide to Blender, but they're great resources. He has his own style of working and he's shockingly productive with it. Lazy Tutorials: [LINK] My favourite guides of his are not in the Lazy Tutorials playlist, though. Perhaps they were not lazy enough: Blender Motion Tracking: Room Transformation - [VIDEO] Wild Tricks for Greenscreen in Blender - [LINK]
