Bamboo.

[gottawonder]

I got a "Bamboo" drawing pad yesterday. It allows you to use the drawing program in your computer, and this pad with a stylus, so that it's more like drawing with a pen or brush. I found it a lot easier to use than the mouse (I had played with the basic Paint program in Windows, but I found it too awkward to use a mouse). I really like using the stylus, and I can see myself doing this when I can't set up my paints.
