I really want to learn to draw/paint/create. There is something about being able to create images with depth from nothing that intrigues me. Where do I start?! I realize it comes naturally to some people. Im not one of those people. I mean I understand how to draw 3d objects but that's about it.

Thoughts?

I personally don't find art classes very helpful. It's one of those things you learn by just observing on your own, IMO. Start with still pictures and look closely at the shapes and where the light hits. The hardest part will probably be getting past the fact that things are not necessarily shaped and colored like they're normally seen. For instance, your eye may look white, but it's technically made up of grey and pinkish colors because of shadows and such.
