    Gamemaker is bores me to death! I had to use it and create games for my game designer course. I don't recommend it. As for graphics, I really want to get in to graphics very badly but with my time consuming hobbies and work it's hard to find the time to teach myself. However I am very serious about getting in to it.

    Guys what tablet do you use for drawing digital art? and what software?

    because i am thinking of buying a samsung galaxy tab and whether it's worth it if i want to use it for digital art.
    Peace :D

    @thulfiqaar don't confuse tablet (big-screen phone-like technology) with tablet (virtual pen and paper). You want the latter. I recommend (and I bought for my wife) a Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet: http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Bamboo ... blets.aspx

    It's right on the cusp of casual with one foot into the door for serious artists.

    I also (somehow) managed to buy the Adobe creative suite for $100 from a guy who bought the newest one, so I use Photoshop CS3. I actually like GIMP more (having used it for years), but Photoshop coexists better with the tablet.

    @thulfiqaar I was thinking of making a group on deviantArt where we comment on each others work on a technical level (colours, shading, texture, composition, etc.) instead of just ("I like it.") What do you say?

    I try to do 15 minutes of drawing after Fajr, and post it -- good or bad -- on dA.

    thank you very much for the tips @ashes999 you don't know how happy you made me. i am going to look for a pen tablet whilst i am in Singapore as its cheaper here. and inshallah the software as well but that can wait. as for the group idea.. im all for it. but note i take ages doing anything especially drawing.

    @thulfiqaar inshaAllah khayr, no worries :)

    For the tablet, Wacom is pretty good and pretty high-end, wallahu a'lam.

    @thulfiqaar hope you get as much out of it as I did :) alhamdulillah. I actually bought CS3 (Photoshop) cheap, so I'm using that.

    Well let me know if you find a cheap copy somewhere, as I am interested. although it's really expensive probably still when it's considered cheap :P

    @thulfiqaar alhamdulillah I found a legit (company resold) version of CS3 suite (photoshop, indesign, etc.) for $100. Alhamdulillah, it gave me a halal opening. I used Gimp for many years, but it's tablet support is a little less than Photoshop.
