etc--I really want something for JUST drawing--STILL thimking on a drawing tablet.. And not sure if I really need it either. Drawing by hand has been my mode for design for years--I can still scan THAT and save it. Thimking thimking..... _____________ I used to be the same but once you start drawing on a computer you might never go back to doing anything by hand again :-) Now the only painting I do by hand is Portraits in Pastels and my Genesis Oils. And when I get my new Version 8 from Paint Shop Pro -- I might not even use those (huge laugh here). You will need a tablet. The mouse is like holding a club and the tablet and pen is exactly like your pencil or even a paint brush. Once you configure the tablet (mine is a Wacom Graphire as you really don't need the larger tablet), you'll love the freedom digital art brings you. If you make a mistake, ditch the layer. No more cost for supplies -- this is an absolutely superb way to produce Art! And if you use printroom.com, you can have wonderful reproductions made and also sell your work on the internet.
