I've heard of people doing their sketches of paper first, scanning them, 
and then inking/painting with the tablet over that. I'll probably adopt 
that method myself, at least until I become proficient with the pad.

Just keep practicing! You can use Blender and POV-Ray to get an idea of 
how light falls on surfaces, using simple models as examples. Also, I 
think modeling clay and a lamp can be very helpful for figuring out the 
mechanics of light.

6 megs isn't too bad. Some of those art programs can run into the 
hundreds... Maybe I can use my download manager to acquire them in 
chunks, maybe not :/

Some of my recent downloads have had to be completed overnight. My 
internet connection is at odds with the house phone :(

Any further than I am now? Not likely! POV will always have its uses, 
mostly in the technical realm.

I can see how having a graphics tablet may become useful for sketching 
scene ideas and then finishing them with POV, Blender and other tools...
