You are right . I don't think any of it is really drawing. And I don't 
do well with AE or combustion either. Who has time. Lightwave I know 
annd I don't have time for that either. I cheated my last LW project 
with FCP keyframing effects and lightwave  flares and objects.
Now modeling, that is hard.
