Tomorrow I start art classes at UT through the informal classes program ... it should be a fun way to learn some of the basic techniques in perspective drawing. Oh, I also picked up a copy of this book by Scott Robertson:

... I'm planning on going through the Robertson book simultaneously ... my hope is that I come out of the next 4 weeks with a better foundation for understanding what concept art is all about in the context of game design.

Other updates ... I'm moving through a few different tutorials on Unity and that has been challenging but also very interesting. I feel like fairly soon I'll have the basics down and will be able to begin prototyping and playing around in the engine!
