Well I want to get started in SOOOOOO BAD!

You don't even know.

'rolem is I still havent been able to secure a new stylus for my tablet. most likely I'm gonna get a new better tablet this christmas, so that's cool.

Need it for coloring, can't do anything but flats with a mouse without it looking like vomit.

THEN

I still can't get started past the penciling since I'm total crap with inks, I always murder my drawings with any pen once I get that far. Tried to do pencil "inks" by starting in a light color then laying on the pencil thick. that doesn't turn out well.

So I'm just drawing little doodles almost to finished quality in pencils, and those are messy at best.
