I want to learn how to draw very well. Can anyone help me learn to draw concept art for video games?

Hello, I want to learn to draw concept art for video games. The kind you see in the Final Fantasy game's start screen, like how X has Yuna sending, and VII has the picture of Meteor, etc. However, I want to focus mainly on drawing very realistic-looking people. Fantasy/Medieval themed, mostly. I also want to be able to draw effects like fire and water, and be able to color them in well and incorporate shading, as well. Does anyone know where any free tutorials are for this, video or otherwise? Also, could I get a job once I learned this talent (preferably in the game industry) or do they do everything by computers now? If so, what would said job be like? One last thing: how much do those little tablets for drawing on the computer go for, and what are they like? Thanks all very much, I appreciate it. Oh, and can anybody recommend good brand names to me? Thanks again!I want to learn how to draw very well. Can anyone help me learn to draw concept art for video games?
I draw concept art,but nothing with my works. (Yeah haha,Im a Final Fantasy fan all the way).

I guess studying anatomy books (manga) to get the cartoon/realism effect. You can get em in any book store. Also a good idea is that you can look up youtube and type in how to draw final fantasy art...it might give you an idea on how to develop your own approach to drawing the facial features like they did for concept art in FF.

Well, you may draw well, by using the good devices for drawing it. in a proper way.
no ' short - cuts' to drawing very well . You need proper tuition at art classes , particularly life drawing [ from the live human body] and you need to study art of the past , especially in the context of your chosen field , i. e. graphic illustration, so that would be heroic or costume figures from Renaissance Art , or Classical Sculpture from the ancient civilisations . How you guys think you can achieve anything worthwhile in any branch of art without vital background knowledge is beyond me ; you lot really are the ' instant' generation , with no patience , staying- power or respect for the noble arts you strive to excel at . Be humble , for heaven's sake ....!
