Programs like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro can be expensive but do come in cheaper forms,ie Elements!.also programmes like PAINT,NET are freeware and quite usable for beginners!.There are a number of magazines available,I buy Photoshop Creative on occassions and find it very useful!.Many magazines come with tutorial CDs or DVDs,Try and work through one of those for starters!.Many of the photo programmes come with a good set of straightforward drawing tools!.My children started with ancient programmes in the 1980s,just getting hands on experience!.One is now a jewelry designer!.For ideas you only have to look at on line record stores!.Try to use photos if you can't draw very well and play with them in the Filters section of,for example,Photoshop elements!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
