Well, one of the reasons I ended up doing 3D was that my drawing skills were
just not good enough to make the kind of hand-drawn art I wanted to do,
lacking both the natural talent and the formal training.
The good thing about digital art is that one can always say "Poor me can't
do better because I can't afford X [sofware/hardware]" while with hand-drawn
art the only person to blame for the lack of results is oneself ;-)
(and even if you're good at it: I was once at a book signing of the French
comic book artist JC Mezieres. He was friends in art school with comic book
legend Jean Giraud/Moebius (who could draw blindfolded with both hands tied
in his back) and when asked about the experience he answered "Picture
yourself being in music school with Mozart." Sometimes one cannot win.)

As Gilles says, there's a world of difference between artistic drawing
and technical drawing. I probably mentioned before that I started out
college as an Aeronautical Engineering student - had to take drafting
classes as a result. I was quite good at that - but I couldn't draw
*artistic* images to save my life. I can barely manage a stick figure
that looks good.
But give me a T-square and a drafting set, and I can put a drawing
together of most anything.

Yes, I am. In a funny and yet sad way at the same time.

-3 points for mis-matched quote marks.
+11 points for depiction of elite computer hackery.
