Autodidaction is the best way to learn.
You know The teachers that teach today 3d anim and art are all autodidact in this field.
of course you should have some drawing and plastic - sculpture talent and the will but thats all you need.
I dont want to make a publicity I think you should try
Lingtwave 3D its learning curve is extreme in comparision to Maya XSI
It doesent need any special knowledge to get the "tick" of it.

KEEP ON TRYING, It`s a beautiful job
I can help if u want
