I have been feeling a bit on the artistic side lately, but have no real outlet.

I can't draw at all. I wish I could, and I have tried and tried, but I can even make stick figures look bad.

I had started down the road of 3D Studio Max, but it is a very arduous process to learn that program. I don't plan on giving that up whatsoever, but I haven't found the time and motivation to proceed with the tutorials that come with the program.

I can take pictures, but I am in no way on par with some of the photography I have seen online, which is a little bit discouraging.

I have been wanting to learn more with Photoshop, I have done a little experimenting with several things and may start posting some stuff here. I would love to get to the point where I could actually pump out some decent stuff that people dig, but I don't know how to get there.

Any advice? Tutorials? Websites? Where should I go from here and what should I do?

Maybe I should just pack it in...who knows.
