Sorry dont have a photoshop. Well, getting a PS is pretty high on my list actually. But right now I can't afford 1 cos PS are really expensive, 1100 Euros (About 1500 dollars) where I live and I wanta be able to hand sketch way better first, before I get A photoshop maybe in another year or so.

Anyway thanx a lot for the advice.

You could get PS, find any friendly graphic designers and ask them if they have PS without a programmed licence on CD and lend it to you, that is what I have PS adobe 7 for free!

How do you render with the PS Adobe 7? I thought that they were only for photo retouching. But anyway It doesent really matter about free PS cos I was getting A AutoDesk Sketchbook Pro 2010 for my Birthday & A Wacomb Tablet though I'm not sure which to get I'm looking for one tablet with a price tag of around +100Euro-200, any suggestions

Glad that you found a program, Photoshop has basic tools not just retouching but as well painting a picture!! As you will found out later when finally you have it or not.

Anyway, I saved up my money brought my self a Wacom Bamboo medium about +/-260Euros around 3 months ago, I have enjoyed it alot and found it challenging to sketch (not painting).
You will find it very challenging to draw with it, not because I am struggling, but to handle the pen pressure and to draw very neat lines. But I get it along by drawing over and over, understanding the techniques of pen pressure. I am very sure that you will do well if practise and time is require.
Don't worry if you need the best wacom size to fit the screen, I have A5 size wacom and 17 inch PC screen and it fits. It can be any screen size. (As I put a pen on the corner of wacom, a curser on screen is on the corner too).

I think it is up to you which model to take but the cheapest wacom recommended is Bamboo medium. And take it in black colour which it doesn't show dirt easily.

Thanks again for the help, I've been doing what youve told me to do from the other day and I have to say, that you was really good advice thankyou again

Anyway I was looking through Amazon.com and I found A blue bamboo medium for 100 Dollars USED. That brings me onto a point Is it wise to buy a used tablet i'm not sure.

Wow! Thats the best price I have heard!
Well I brought one and it is all new. I don't think if it is wise to buy second hand model (used model), but it depends on how long the previous owner has use it. And the packaging needs to be well done, like it has all parts together and CD's with it.
Like for example, if you really want to buy a rare, legendary car but it has 100 000km on milage and no special package. I don't think you would want it...
