I've dabbled in more mediums than I care to list and I wish that I had more time
At the moment to do more. Looking forward to taking up some of them again when I retire.

DO IT. There is a lot that can be learned. Here's a couple of books off my shelves that I find myself going back to every couple of years. Don't know if they can still be found.

Thank you Michael, would be a good start but...

Certainly if you have a natural affinity for it that makes things easier.

Practice is critical.

All the phenomenal artists I know draw every single day.

They get up in the morning and "warm up" by sketching something while having breakfast.

They do it for a living, these guys work for studios like WETA, ILM, Lucas, etc...

You certainly don't need to dedicate that kind of time but like most things, the more you do it regularly the better you get.

OK, thanks Scott, I'll hire an artist or do some work in Photoshop.
