Automotive designers ( Styling ) where did you learn to sketch ?

I mean the art of selecting the right pencils , adopting the right method , all the factors that make you sketch like a pro. Did you learn it by yourself or did you get any sorta training , either at elementary school level or professional level ? Also how many of you use softwares such as Autodesk Alias, without being actually able to produce the same quality results with your had and a pencil ?

I have always sketched since I was a very young child and through time @ school my skills got better. I would not say my art is anything like a pros it is just the creative side of it I have always loved. I am still trying to teach my self Alias (( up hill challange )) so yeah my sketches are far better than what I can do with Alias @ this point in time.
