I worked on everything from corporate interiors, to bridal salons, to airport facilities, to convention centers. Did a lot of stuff by hand and on CAD.

If you're going to be painting textures or drawing on the computer then get a pressure sensitive drawing tablet like a Wacom. You'll enjoy drawing and painting in Photoshop a whole lot more. Anyone doing art on the computer without a drawing tablet is no artist in my book. Using a mouse is like trying to paint with a bar of soap. Chris Rock says,"I can drive a car with my feet. But, it don't make it a good idea."

Man, I hope you love what you're doing to put in 80 hours a week. And it better pay damn well too. Those kind of hours is what burned me out of Architecture and Games Industry.

As long as you enjoy it, keep doing it. 3D art started out as a hobby for me using Stratavision on a Mac Ci. It took 3 days to render one frame at print resolution using ray tracing. I was lucky enough to get my stuff published and get my next gig which put a Silicon Graphics machine on my table. We all gotta start somewhere.
