I'm still trying to get to that sense of accomplishment myself, but I just hope I finish since I keep nitpicking over all the details. That's a heckuva gift though if you're able to translate to picture exactly what you visualize in your head, I would love to learn how to do that, since it always turns out a little different than what I think of. And yeah, good call, that's why i need to start leaving my comfort zone too, so I can get better.

And there's was a point in my life where I completely STOPPED drawing actually. There's was 2-years right near the end of high school that I really thought drawing wasn't for me anymore and just stopped. I wasn't getting excited about creating anything and nothing had interested me enough (not even all the anime i watched) to make me want to draw for that long, until I was in college for a while and my friend introduced me to Naruto. I liked it so much, that I started drawing it, and around that time, my gf was drawing a lot of anime too, so it all together motivated me to start drawing again. And then of course a couple years after that, I finally gave dA a chance, and it's great to have a place where so many people share the same love of anime and manga. So all in all, I'd have to say I got through it by coming across people and things that motivated me to do it, so always look for something that you're totally in love with.

And what I use to clean up my pics is exactly what you just wrote. Rough sketch--->Sketch---->Ink--->Scan---->hotoshop. The action lines and effects are also all drawn.

And no hurry, but when you do a rough page up, i'll try to help you figure out more of that kinda thing. Can't wait!
