Where can I get painter?
 

Where can i get Painter? I want to draw like the rest of you. Thanks.

Painter doesn't automatically give you drawing skills, nor does Photoshop, ArtRage or any other application. Your best friend is really a pencil until you get better, and understand values. Painter does real-life tool simulation pretty decently, so if you're interested, and of course, if you have a tablet, you can find more information about it on:

I think I need a tablet, how much these things run?

Well it depends on what size you want.

And what quality you want. I got some random brand 12" tablet from CompUSA for $120, but it sucks. The cursor sometimes skips off by a random offset, then at some point returns to where it should be, in addition to just not being very precise. From what I hear, the same tablet from a name brand would be over 1k.

The Wacom Intuos 2 series are awesome, if you can afford them.

Nobody uses a mouse anymore?

It's a lot easier and your image comes out a lot neater if you use a tablet.
