I am extremely new to this and am looking for some advice. I found the site while surfing and am now addicted to the possibilities. I have a dilema though, I don't know what is necessary to start. I have the ability to draw but do not know what the most recommended software would be. I do not want to spend money on junk and am open to any information anyone can offer. Also what hardware may be necessary to create and then ultimately animate. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
