Hi everybody! I understood that you need to draw and/or sketch quite well to do some work in 3d applications. Usually in all the training DVD’s they use either image planes or some kind of a drawing to guide them. So, I wanted to learn to draw. I searcged on youtube for some tutorials but didn’t find anything. I got a book from Betty Edwards: Drawing on the riught side of the brain. It’s pretty interesting and theoretically if I will pravctise I will do well. But which DVD’s/Books you recommend me to get to learn to draw? Please remember that I’m a complete noob in drawing. Thank’s for help already!

That’s not true at all.  You don’t need to know how to draw when working on 3d unless you want to make your own concept sketches and/or reference images.
EDIT:  But I want to suggest Sketchbook Pro for this kind of sketching, it really is a fast program.

buy a small sketchbook and keep it with you at all times. Whenever you are waiting around (bus, dinner, library etc), just start sketching what you see around you. Youtube is full of people posting caps of sketching techniques also.
