Well when you get a tablet you'll find it gets easier to do everything on the computer ^^ though, i have always prefered to sketch on paper rather than in a program . . i guess its because i started out just doing tradtional linearts xD;
i was thinking in making sketch traditionally and then ink and colour with the tablet
i ordered it on ebay, im from argentina, so i guess i will have to wait alot T.T from U.K to argentina is a long way to go xP
Haha but you have to be more hopeful, its going to get to you, you just have to be patient :) and when it does come there are plenty of tutorials to help you get started in whatever program you decide to use
