You should try finishing that! It's good to be able to color traditionally. I'm not that great at it, and I don't enjoy it as much as I do digital coloring.
I use my laptop, and use Photoshop CS2, and sometimes PS Elements, which works well too. I use one of the most basic Wacom Bamboo tablets in existence.
"If you ever have a problem don't say 'Hey God I have a big problem.' Rather 'Hey Problem... I have a big God and it's all going to be okay."
Cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can’t fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal. — William S. Burroughs
