Do you need a tablet or u can simply use Autodesk sketchbook on Windows ??

[idmars10]

@bobbyyy007 Let's put it this way. I like using a pen when I draw.

[bobbyyy007]

@idmars10 i cant afford a wacom right now, but i did like Sketchbook, thats why im asking

[idmars10]

@bobbyyy007 Any drawing program without a tablet is limited to what a mouse can do.

These are really awesome , and you are becoming my inspiration!!! I've always wanted to draw as awesome as you but I'm not that good =(. But... for a 13 year old... I think I'm pretty good ! =).
