I'm using photoshop CS5 extended and ya... I could never get the shadows right T_T And the anatomy + proportional issues... well, it's just like my light source issue. 'Cuz I just draw from instince/feeling alone so there's bound to be some of those issues.
(When I draw, I like to draw freehand without the circles and lines beforehand so ya...) But I will try to work on that... somehow. lol I'm not planning to go into digital art since I'm doing it as a hobby/something to kill time with (I'm still in high school...) however I'm curious about one thing:
1) What's a tablet?
(I'm so nooby TT_TT )
No problem! I just wish I could help more.

My sister uses Adobe Photoshop CS5 to draw all her digital artwork too, and she loves it! So you've definitely got a prime drawing program already. And keep drawing from feeling! It’s good to act spontaneously when creating. I used to draw freehand as well, (plotting always seemed to mess me up,) but drawing circles and lines as guides beforehand can really help with structure and anatomy later on. But go with whatever feels comfortable, and you’ll do fine. Just experiment and see what works best for you!
It’s OK! I didn’t know what a tablet was, either, until a few years ago. Boniae pretty much summed it up, but if you still have questions, here’s some more information on tablets:

But if drawing is mainly a hobby for you, you might not need one. I went for years with just a pencil and paper and scanning my work and coloring digitally with a mouse, and there are still artist out there that do the same, or draw using traditional tools only.
Wow, I wish I drew as good as you do when I was in high school!

Anyways, like Boniae suggested, there’s a lot of tutorials online if you want to learn more, but don't forget, practice is key!
