Thanks for your informative advice, I would like to get into scientific illustration but I know it will take time and a lot of study. What I mean though was what should an artist have under their belt in general? For example, I usually get asked to draw logos,tattoos,etc. But, because of my lack of skill, the time it will take for me to complete a project is pretty long due to research,preliminaries,school,work. So, I wanted to focus my free time on brushing up on general skills so I can dish out good artwork in a reasonable amount of time.

Also, I always thought portraiture was apart of fine art category, it looks like a pretty cool gig.

I totally agree, I have never done sketches just for sake of sketching. I always ask myself why I have to do this sketch, and what am I trying to get out of it? Lately I have been doing some traditional watercolor sketches to help me with better color decision making and maybe I can improve my digital watercolor from doing traditional.

@Naroth-Kean that is an excellent plan! if your digital watercolor is so amazing already!
