I'd say that Wacom is a very legitimate company to buy your first tablet from. But, with digital art becoming more and more popular, their cheapest tablet series (Bamboo) has gone up in price. There ARE alternatives to Wacom if money is a concern (There is a weird brand called "Picasso" that was a large tablet that was $30 at Fry's electronics. ) My first tablet was a Wacom intuos 4. But due to the circuitry going out on the USB port, i had to upgrade to a Intuos 5. (would definitely recommend, even though i ran into the same issues and had to send it into wacon for repairs. Also when you get your tablet, you might find it odd to maneuver (pen & cursor location.) a lot of my friends said they had that issue, i have never had that issue, but it's possible you might as a starter. But a HUGE issue i ran into when becoming used to the tablet would be that i would spend too much time drawing on the tablet that i would forget to draw traditionally, or i would mess up (not be as good as drawing as i used to )because i was so used to just drawing and editing. So it's nice to remember to properly switch between the two.

I appreciate all your guy's input! I know I'll find the right person someday, and I know it takes time. I'm not limiting myself to just a dream or a fantasy, I just want someone who will help me get better, and same in return (:

I don't even know what you mean by that? Do you mean using your shadow to see if you have flyaways? I thought that was normal

I did welcome you! I was your last poster! B)
