I draw with a $90 bamboo tablet and paint tool sai but soon I'll be getting a better one, however it's best to start with pencil and paper and learn the basics before that. It can take me 12 hours on a single picture if I really get into it but I can get my time down to 4 hours, or just an hour if I really rush the job (it looks terrible)

I went to college for three years just to learn to draw as well as I can, the last two were for animation because I needed to pick up my pace a bit.

It is expensive, time consuming, and not a chore the impatient can do. If you really want to draw well someday you will need to start now and continue drawing for years, you will learn more from drawing real objects and people than you can glean from other artists in this journal.

Motivation is tough to come by so if you think this is easy it really, really isn't. It's as difficult as any job and you won't get the credit you deserve in several ways. Imagine if you had to go to college for years just to get a job at minimum wage and that's what it's like as a beginning artist. Minimum wage is what Walmart greeters make, anything that's more difficult than saying "hello" should be paid more.

I'm going to University in the next two weeks. I'm going to get a degree in Computer Science. I'll see if they have art class in the U.

I don't promise anything that if my drawings are gonna suck or not. And the Bamboo Drawing Tablet that you say, I might as well buy this in the future, when I have a good job, money, and a good yet short and sweet house.
