I love art. I love painting. It's one of the few things I can do that I feel at peace with. Still a new painter, but I love it.

I'm very interested in digital art. I've seen so many things on dribbble, et al, that I'm always impressed with. And often, they're made using Ps, or After Effects, etc.

So, last month, I got the creative cloud, and a licensed CS6, and Lynda, and went at it.

I found that I didn't really learn very much at all. And more than wasting money on the creative cloud, I wasted inordinate amounts of time I could have better spent on other things.

What were the resources you used to learn Ps, for digital art, or for user experience/product design?

How long did it take you to advance?

You clearly know your stuff.

No, I didn't buy Adobe CS6. Bit rich for my tastes. I did pay, month-long for the creative cloud, however, but I really didn't set it to desired task.
