I've never taken any, personally.  Hope it doesn't show. :P  But seriously, 
I think the best thing you can do in order to improve your drawing skills is 
to simply keep drawing.  You don't need someone telling you "this is how to 
draw a tree" or "this is how to paint a cow."  Try it first for yourself, 
and I'm sure you'll improve with time (kinda like wine!).

That's why do it - for fun!  The extra benefits ($$$) will come into the 
picture somewhere down the line.
