2. Unfortunately, a tablet isn't really that great. I owned a Wacom tablet for about a year before I bought my tablet PC and I could never use it. I used my mouse for my first CGing. Then again, I knew nothing about the techniques back then. It think it's really a mental thing. I thought I'd be able to make better art with a tablet PC than a Wacom, but really had I taken the time to do more with the Wacom to begin with I could have done the same with it. Likewise, I know people who use only a mouse and make beautiful art. It's all about layers and the smudge tool really when you get to the core of everything. I didn't know this for years.

If you really a tablet though, my Wacom was about $100 and I know you can find them cheaply on eBay. My tablet PC on the other hand was a good $2k by the time I got done with it. Yes, I can draw directly on the screen, but a Wacom actually has smoother precision lines. I can't draw in OpenCanvas to save my life because my stylus doesn't quite match up with the brush tools.

If you can't afford one, just use the guise of wanting to go to art school. It worked for me. >_>

Yes, I own this thing for the sake of making fanart. I'm a loser.
