Alright. I have some questions that I'm hoping someone might know the answers to. As you know I am trying to get into the rhythm of drawing again as you can see. Though I do have some other sketches, I don't find them good enough to be scanned and uploaded onto here. With that in mind, I am trying to learn how to digitally color images that I've been seeing all over this site. Mainly I'm looking to sorta shade and color like Grimm and Faint. Or use whatever program they are using to try and accomplish that. Better yet, to learn how to digitally color in general. I'm leaning towards getting CS5, but I've been getting mixed reviews between that and Open Canvas. I can honestly say I do not know how to use those programs and the biggest question of all, do I need a tablet to do this accurately? If so, what tablet should I use that the popular artists are utilizing?

Any information is greatly appreciated for a break out artist like me! :)
