This art piece was made by using Adobe Photoshop CS2 and a Wacom Bamboo Fun . I was practicing using the Wacom Bamboo Fun. It is pretty easy to use if you're all ready an artist. I like drawing in Charcoal so, the only difference is getting use to drawing on a monitor instead on paper.
I also found that drawing on a piece of paper of what I would like to draw can also be traced using the Wacom pad. When the art piece is complete just place it on the tablet and start drawing. I would also tape it to the tablet so it doesn't move.
The tablet can range any where from $200 to $400 but well worth the investment if you are looking to put your art into a digital format. I have provided links below to the product mentioned above. If you don't have the money to purchase Adobe Photoshop then there is a program that may work for you that is FREE call the GIMP.
