I paint mine in photoshop using a Wacom tablet (which can switch from pen to mouse seamlessly and responds to pressure). It's super convenient.
Essentially you just draw a sketch on one layer and, once you're content with it, begin adding other layers. On these other layers begin painting in the stuff you want the way you want it to appear. If you don't like something, try it again until you get it right.
thats crazy...im decent, i intend to to make a career out of art, been drawing/painting and taking classes and what not for years, and my goal is to do art for a gaming company, so in college im going to take the neccesary classes for commercial art and hopefully end up for a game company (but able to do other things since ill be in the field to fall back on) but im coming to realize i REALLY need to know how to use photoshop..so you telling me that you literally DRAW with the mouse?? no sketch with paper and scanning to computer??i cant even conceive how to draw with the mouse, i draw like a 5 year old with a mouse(a talented 5 year old:P )

I have a tablet pc that I doodle on from time to time, my sister owns a wacom tablet, you can find them online for a pretty fair price, we got hers at best buy.
