It's True
When I was younger I was always told I was a phenomenal artist for my age. In high school I got into computer graphics and I can tell I've gotten worse if not horridly bad (I think) with traditional media. Time to get back to basics.

maybe
But I'm sure the quality of cave paintings was in sharp decline after the introduction of clay tablets.

Doodling, drafting and drawing Online
There's a new webapp that enables this.

<a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.mainada.net/comics/index" target="_newWindow">http://www.mainada.net/comics/index</a>

Users can draw directly online, creating comic strips. These kind of apps can be valueable for theses students.

Aspiring to greatness aint no big thing; buying into webpasting certainly :
Ditto: How can we build a better webpage. Good site managers are allocated in the office not in the lobby. But, there is always room for another application. Work hard!
