I am just curious... I have always heard of digital artists using these tablets and pens and I really have some great ideas for art... What are they, and do I need to buy software to use one if I buy it? Like is there a program for it, or will I need to get something for it? I don't have a clue, just... Tell me whatever you can about tablet pen things! Thanks.

those are tablets
there used to draw there basically digital paper
the programs and drivers come with it
you can pick up a cheap one which is the bamboo fun tablet which is 100 dollars
at best buy
good for beginners
i personally bought the 9*12 intuos around 500 dollars :)

and tablets work with anything that has a mouse option and or pen :)

if you cant afford photoshop you can always download gimp
which is a free version of photoshop
same features but free :) hope it helped

also wear a cotton glove when wearing one
it reduces friction makes smoother lines :)
