I will most likely check out some of the free programs before I decide to order the graphics tablet. I'm sure it will never completely replace my paper and chalks. I do not have an art background, I am self taught. But I LOVE to draw and now that I am retired, my legs are giving out, but with my upper body still strong I have lots of time to draw and work at my computer. So when I feel good, that is what I spend a lot of time doing. I have really been enjoying drawing lately. Nothing as beautiful as yours...

Thanks!
