First off, I'd like to explain my goals:
I've recently been accepted to one of my top university choices. Therefore, I plan to attend college for 4 years and later on become a
game artist and animator, as well as freelance/webcomic artist on the side. Eventually, I plan to get a Wacom tablet so that I'll have the proper tools to make my artwork
that much better. It's difficult to make art on a cheap tablet using a free program!
