You really need to start out like the rest of us. "How To Draw A Playfield" by Nick Bensema is a nice way to get your feet wet. Also, search the archives for a message written by list member, Piero, entitled something like "Steps to Get Started". This is a GREAT list of steps in which to take if you've got NO IDEA where to start. Good luck. It ain't easy, but sure is rewarding!
