You speak in riddles my friend...And I hate Luke Skywalker, so dont patronize me with that jedi bullsh!t! :p
Seriously though, I need some help with it cause I dont seem to get anywhere soon on my own...
Some links to sites /forums would help a lot too!

Hmm...I've never used any Photoshop tutuorials or books, so I really don't know where to point you!

Experiment, experiment, experiment. That's all I can say, really.

Your local bookstore has good resources for Photoshop and Illustrator.

For drawing try these methods:

My personal choice is the path tool in Illustrator for smooth lines. You can use the freehand tool also. If you like to draw on paper then do it and scan it in. Then use Adobe Streamline to convert it to editable paths.

I wouldn't use PS for drawing. Illustrator is best (or Freehand is you like that proggy).

This is the typical program lineup I have for my work.

Adobe PS, Illustrator, Streamline.
Quark 4.1

Those are the staples but I have more.

edit - I rely heavily on a combo of my mouse and Wacom 6X9 tablet.

without going into too much detail it is really buggy and slow. I am talking about the Mac version btw. It was so bad that my work quickly got rid of it and reverted back to 8.
