I'm 18 and want to get into graphic design but I have no idea where to start. I'm not even sure if it's illustration or graphic design I'm talking about here but I mean awesome stuff like this:

Now I know my way around Photoshop like the back of my hand and even I couldn't begin to imagine how this person has produced images like this. Did he sketch them first? They're SO complex. And so original. I'm not sure if I'm creative enough (though I got A* in Fine Art). Please share any advice you can? =)
 
Ask at your local college to learn.

You can do anything on a computer even without sketching first.

You can always get a job with the local graphic design company just look in your local directory and phone them to ask if they have any openings.
 
Im an architectural designer and you'd be amazed what you can do on illustrator or photoshop. I've done mulitmillion dollar resorts and homes and people can't even tell if they were hand drawn or computer drafted.

Personally I hand draft everything, scan it in the computer, then use photo shop or illustrator to achive my desired look.
