My wife and I took drawing lessons years ago at the NY Art Students League (a 
great place).  In one class, the instructor remarked to my wife "If you could 
draw, you would be dangerous," pointing out that she had a great sense of 
composition but lesser technical drawing skills.  So, after that, she took up 
photography!  Her drawing compositions were interesting, and that carries into 
her photography. (My "skills" lead to boring compositions, but we can still 
enjoy what we're not good at).

>>>I attended my first drawing class last night. It was just a one-session
thing, to get me started with drawing. I'm trying to learn to draw
because I want to get into logo design as part of my web business.
Drawing is a commpletely alien exercise to me, but I feel I need to
learn it to add to my skillset.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else on the list draws or engages in
any other visual or other arts. If you do, do you think practicing one
helps your skill in the other, or maybe hinders it? I am wondering if
learning to draw will affect my photgraphy at all.
