So, here you go Note it's a little advanced, no "how to draw a loli in SAI".

Here are my screentones: [link]

Hope you'll enjoy!

I have an IMMEDIATE pressing question--I asked for two things for my birthday; a writing tablet and SAI...but I really have no idea at all how to use either of them--yes I can learn, but:
(1) Is having a writing tablet good for using SAI?
(2)Do you pretty much NEED a writing tablet for SAI?
(3) If a tablet (Bamboo) comes with Photoshop Elements, can it/should it be used with SAI?
(4) Would it be worth my money to purchase the tablet? Because it sounds like the tablet would make things a lot easier...having to scan things with my crappy printer and edit them in PAINT (OMFG) just is beyond terrible...
(5) are tablets easy to use?

Hey, yeah using a drawing program without a drawing tablet doesn't really make a lot of sense. They can be used for all programs, no worries Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's only worth the money if you draw a lot anyways! : D
