Long time no see!

I'm always here, lurking in the shadows. Just haven't had much of anything to post, so I've been rather quiet.

However, for Christmas, I got a drawing tablet- my first ever! I'm so excited but I am such a noob. I need any of your advise on pretty much everything. Like, what is the best software to use? Preferably cheap. Any tips and tricks?

I appreciate any and all feedback!

You can also just drop a line and tell me what's been new with you all! I'd love to hear from you!
