Definitely not too late -- I moved to Los Angeles when I was 23 to write and now I'm a professional illustrator / artist. Major change but it can be done if you're willing to put in the work!
When you say "3D," are you looking to be a modeler, a concept designer, an animator, or something else?
Drawing skills are not going to hurt you when learning 3D. Learning how to draw is not going to "mess things up" in any way. If you're a modeler or concept designer, being able to visualize forms in three dimensions is a must. If you're an animator, understanding flow and gesture is a must.
If you want to learn basic form drawing and sketching, check out Scott Robert's Gnomon DVD. It's really essential for learning basic form drawing, perspective, and line techniques (how to freehand straight lines and curves):

Analytical figure drawing -- go through and copy all of the notes in this blog into your sketchbook. It'll take you a couple days but be well worth it:

If your'e interested in animation, Richard Williams' "The Animator's Survival Kit" is the book.

As far as Wacom vs. Traditional goes, start with whatever you're comfortable with, but know that you'll have to pick up and become fluent in using a Wacom if you want to work professionally. There's a bit of a learning curve with the Wacom but the secret to all drawing is practice practice practice.
Personally, I'd recommend enrolling in a drawing class of some sort, and/or a 3D class, if they're available in your area. I find I work better with a little bit of competition around me.
Good luck!
I do both, but I draw mostly from the mind.
Drawing figures from the imagination is a process. You first have to learn how the individual components of the body function as a whole. Where parts attach to others, their approximate sizes, and shapes. If you understand those elements, then you won't need reference material unless something like a portrait is your actual goal. When you begin drawing you start by covering the entire body, first with a sketch, and then going over it again multiple times, laying the groundwork, before turning your focus to the finer details. The topic you want to study for this is called Dynamic Figure Drawing or Dynamic Figure Composition. There's actually a really good book on the subject by Burne Hogarth. But if you're more of a visual learner, there are a ton of YouTube channels devoted to it as well.
Books, books and more books. Or courses.
I like to draw anime and I spent a few years just photocopying.
https://www.instagram.com/chrissyatsea/
The problem with that is that it made me better at copying not composing. Also I didn
t like to get off my comfortable areas. I didn
t know why the artist drew it like or how they did it. I just copied it. Like if you are copying a math problem you dont know what it means at all. So you need to be taught why it works like that. Unless of course you are gifted.<br /> <br /> So there is a good handful of books out there to help you with such things.<br /> <br /> The whole case on books is that if you aren
t a talented or gifted artist youre gonna have to do what we normies do best. Learn the fundamentals. Gifted people are gifted with the ability to just do and not know. Since we aren
t we start here.Another thing to ask yourself if you aren
t willing to commit atleast an hour or more a day or atleast a good amount of hours a week on drawing is this: "Does this just sound good or do I really want it?"<br /> <br /> Here is a few books<br /> <br /> http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Right-Side-Brain-Definitive/dp/1585429201<br /> http://www.amazon.com/Keys-Drawing-Bert-Dodson/dp/0891343377/ref=pd_sim_14_5/189-6540426-4014231?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=51BQ2AW%2BCWL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&amp;refRID=181BN40T9TTX026F0EBF<br /> <br /> I am currently working with anatomy on George Bridgman Books.<br /> <br /> http://www.amazon.com/Constructive-Anatomy-Dover-Artists/dp/0486211045/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=51vQXcL6ZyL&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR107%2C160_&amp;refRID=13K2R2Y1Y6FZD3BJCBKK<br /> <br /> (Oh yeah try to find all the PDF
S to these if you can`t afford them. I know that sounds wrong but these books are bestsellers if that makes you feel any better..)This is great!
It seems she's practicing expression and posture. Might I recommend This book.
She seems to like the animation style and this is the holy grail of beginners learning how to draw in that style. I discovered it for my own use after reading this touching letter of instruction from legendary animator John Kricfalusi. You should read that letter.
Something you can contribute to your daughters hobby is helping her know the artists behind the things she loves.
Get this book.
What makes a good comic artist is what makes anyone good at anything. The basics. You need to learn anatomy, its the most important part of drawing people. Read every page of that book, and draw EVERY page from top to bottom at least 5 times. And when you've done that, do it again, and keep it with your sketchbook as a reference. And when you've drawn that book, start drawing people you see in real life. Draw them eating at a cafe, walking in the park, draw your family, your pets, your TV, ETC. The stronger you are at drawing real life things, the farther you get from being Rob Leifeld (very important to be better than him).
Also, don't worry about color for the time being. Color is tough as hell, and requires a lot more information and knowledge than you think. When you want to start coloring, get a set of Copics or Fabre-Castells. Sharpies or Crayolas aren't high enough quality to give you anything decent until you are competent enough to handle inferior products.
On a more positive note: Keep working, the more you draw while studying why things look like they do, they quicker you will become better.
what the OP said is pretty spot on, after all he drew this, but if you want somewhere to start this book as been hailed as one of the best for learning how to draw in pen and ink
I second that! It is a really great book! I also found Lee Hammond's book, "How to draw Draw Life-like Portraits from Photographs," to be extremely helpful as well.
http://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-Comics-Marvel-Way/dp/0671530771
This book is a gold mine of how to do things like foreshortening, dramatic angles, action poses.
I kind of agree with tonka though, the best thing to do is just look at other people's drawings. You learn so much from just observation after you've got the basics down, so don't be afraid to just buy art books, especially if he likes video games. Many days of my childhood were spent copying drawings from Zelda and Metroid game guides.
I'm hoping someone with some experience will chime in. As a fellow beginner, I like the following:
Figure Drawing, Design and Invention
Jack Hamm, Drawing the Head and Figure
But, with that said, the one I've had the most success with is:
Vilppu Drawing Manual. If I could only have one book, that is probably the one I would pick.
No worries! These are the black fineliners I use, they're cheaper than the usual Staedtler or Pigma Microns, but I haven't noticed any difference in quality, if anything they might take longer to dry out. For the white ink, I use These and these. Because they're ball points they tend to get gummed up if you draw on pencil, so what I do is sketch > black ink > erase sketch > white ink. Hope you enjoy it if you give it a try!
yupp! grab this book by Jack Hamm about landscapes and drawing scenery. it has everything from trees to rocks to clouds and composition etc. its an awesome book and just practice :)
I also usually using a Blue Col-Erase Pencil. For me the best for that kind of work. It's true they really don’t smudge at all.
When I was in high school we didn’t have art classes. I bought a book called Drawing Comics the Marvel Way and my world was never the same. It is a great primer for drawing the figure without being too academic. Check it out
oh yeah dude. there's plenty out there. don't be afraid to look into it. Some great books to get, but you just got see which ones would work for you. I don't know the level you're at so... I recommend this one for anatomy. Helped me out a bunch

Looks like a brush pen perhaps, but I'm not for sure.
Pentel Brush Pens appear to be the most popular. Here's an Amazon link.

Really like it! When I first saw this, your style reminded me of one of my kid's favorite books: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0152015728/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_twi_2_har/179-8027580-3316324
Thanks, I appreciate it! I used this brush pen.
The pencil I’m using for this is a Blue Col-Erase Pencil . I like them a lot because they really don’t smudge at all and I find them to be very satisfying to work with.

This is a cheap book with a lot of really good information on drawing landscapes. I recommend it.
I made a little gif to explain how to derive a perspective grid using a 60 degree cone of vision. I thought you guys might appreciate it. It's based on Scott Robertson's How to Draw book:
https://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-sketching-environments-imagination/dp/1933492732

I'm on Drawcrowd if you want to say hi: https://drawcrowd.com/kennedy31415
Thank you very much. I had a big assist from Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil by J.D. Hillberry. Highly recommended.
Is this freehand? did you use a graph to do any mapping of the face? I highly recommend this book for learning how to do portraits http://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-Lifelike-Portraits-Photographs/dp/089134635X
I use the Pentel White Gel Pen, the trick is to go really slow with it so you give the ink a chance to really flow out of the pen. And if your curious, I used the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen to get different thicknesses for the line work.
Pentel White Gel Pen
a book that helped me immensely was this book.
Start out by drawing spheres, boxes, etc with different lighting; there are lots of beginning tutorials on the internet (and that book) for stuff like that. Then, begin to post your work on here and ask for feedback.
I'd recommend this book for learning perspective of things like this to OP
I also recommend you check out cartoon animation by preston blair. even a google image search has tons of pages from the book as example
For less than ten bucks you can vastly expand your pencil repertoire.

I recently read This and it helped me with drawing perspective immensely.
But straining your brain can be good!
I tried to pause on the pen! The white kind of looks like this guy??
Hello.
I have been drawing since I was little kid.
If I had to start now I'd use this book.

whats your opinion, if any, on this?

The Animator's Survival Kit
Also, draw all the time, every day.
The book I always recommend.
Just buy a set of drawing pencils that includes all the H and B pencils. They are fairly cheap. HB is inbetween. The Hs are lighter in shade and Bs are darker. Higher the number darker the shade. 6B is the darkest I believe.
