Tatertot can draw amazing anime cells (black and white with shading). We want to take this to the next level- computers. I am thinking of getting photoshop (we already have a real old version of Draw) and a drawing pad. Is this a good way to go for someone who can draw freehand well? Currently he does pencil and inking.

Also are there any good resources for a 8th grader to use tolearn computer animation/drawing.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Photoshop is too expensive. Pirate it or get it from a friend who has it, also known as pirate-lite.

as far as animations, this little freeware proggie is cool:

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stickfigure.html

it's not sophisticated (it's stick figures), but may get him interested in a real animation program - and it's fun to play with

oooooo, if your doing animated gifs, Microsoft GIF Animator is a great free little program. You can also do them in PS. If you really get into it, of course, there is always Flash MX.

Gimpshop is free and is nearly identical to PS

As for resources...I've compiled a Grand List of Awesome Photoshop Sites (maybe not 'grand', but 'pretty big') which you can view at http://www.2and2.net/Uploads/Documents/Photoshop%20sites.txt

Mostly tutorials and such. www.good-tutorials.com is an excellent site and you can download really nice Photoshop brushes from www.deviantart.com
