Thank you very much Peter and Rack! I really appreciate the support. ^_^

And in answer to your question Peter, my pictures are scanned rather than drawn using a tablet, though I do use Microsoft Paint to do some very basic editing like smoothing out the lines. I find using a black fineliner pen gets the best results in these cases.

If you are interested in going digital and using more sophisticated programs, I have some experience with the small Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Tablet, which can be bought online for $85. They come with their own programs like Clip Paint Studio which I find easier to use than Photoshop, and there are plenty of online tutorials out there on how to get the best out of it.

A warning though, the thing with something like a touch tablet is you'll have to look on your computer screen while you draw, and not the tablet itself. The co-ordination can be tricky to get down, especially if you're doing something more complex. Most videos I've watched says it takes at least a week or so of practice to fully get right, so just be prepared if you've never used something like this before.

Another option is to get a cintiq which features a digital screen on the tablet itself, but those tend to be very pricey and most of the good ones I've seen are over a thousand dollars. The best advice I can give regarding this is do your research before you buy and find out what is right for you. Hope that helps somewhat. =)
