Help Becoming an Artist

With you guys, I'll be blunt, although this is supposed to be a secret...

I've got 6 months to go from a no-talent, no-experience hack of a artist to a professional-level manga inker and editor. Them's the brakes. Nothing's impossible if you put your mind to it, right?

Well, I may have no artistic talent, but luckily I don't actually have to learn to draw for this. I'm not doing the drawings, I'm taking the drawings and cleaning them up and putting together the manga panels and whatnot. I'm doing the editing and inking from the sketches basically. I handle all the computer-side stuff after the hand drawings.

theOne, you seem to be the big artist around here, know anything about digital inking? I don't even know where to start with all this, but 6 months doesn't seem like much time to me if I balancing it with 3 jobs and school, so, I need to get to it!

Can anybody point me to some good photoshop tutorials? It's almost like doing a webcomic. Oh, and there's no color, all B&W. After I master inking, then I have to learn shading and stuff I guess...ooo...this is going to be tough...can't wait to start...
