hmm, im kinda surprised this turned out well, i just got on here so im realllllly new to this stuff and i just used my mouse for it. What are the tablets i keep seeing people talking about? I feel completely stupid for asking since this is what I'm going into, possibly, anyone?

A tablet is a device that plugs into the computer and gives you a drawing surface area that you use with a stylus that looks like a pen..but it is actually like a pen shaped mouse. http://www.pclaunches.com/other_stuff/wacom_bamboo_pen_and_tablet.php

ah i see, i need to get one of those, eventually... but thanks for the info about it!
