online classes

Yes, if you are going to take classes, take drawing classes or general art classes. Don't waste your time learning a program or technology. By the time you are actually in a place where you will be making money off of any program or technology, it will all be completely different. But the time you get to college, there may not even be a photoshop anymore. Then what are you gonna do? But if you learn the basics of art and drawing, you can apply it to any program or technology in the future.

I reccomend just buying a couple of good magazines, they're usually quite informative
