Aah. Interesting and good choice. But besides Photoshop, are other good programs for drawing and animations.
For example: if you want to make good drawings, try to use Paint Tool Sai, or Firealpaca. Good programs are Gimp, Paint Tool Sai and Flash (besides drawing you can animate, but I should remember the version) and much more. Maybe you'll not gonna believe me and you will say I'm joking, but also with the simple Paint program you can make nice artworks (good for me because simple and has the brushes).
But now, if you want something more developed and about photoshop the best version is Photoshop CS6. Has all the kinds of brushes and palette colours and of course you will need another kind of tablet, the Wacom's are the best.
I'm Andrea. A girl who aspires to be an animator and artist and make other people smile with what i create. And hope to meet new artists here at Newgrounds ^_^

I've heard about Wacom tablets and Id LOVE to get one but I'm still a poor college student who needs money for that kind of stuff. For now i have a Parblo tablet. its very cheep and pretty easy to use (for a newby like me). But thank you so so much for the recommendations cx
But now are only few things that I've heard, I'm not really a profesional but you can find more info here on Newgrounds :)

I think I have an idea. If you are improving more in your artstyle, you can participate to Jazza's contests. For example, till 19 August is UNTRADITIONAL contest where you must use untraditional tools (wood, make up, desk markers, sand, coffee, anything) and is on two categories for beginners and the open category. On both categories the prizes are big, a Wacom tablet and more. But there if you participate you must do everything for fun, not for the prizes because from the start you will lose. So...
i was gonna participate but i dont have money to buy the materials i would use for for the project i would create for the compatition. But I'm still gonna do the piece and maybe when i get the chance and make some time, can try to enter next months competition cx
...materials? If you want you can use desk markers (cheap ones, not really expensive), or sticky notes, the rest from the pencils anything. Here an example:

that one looks amazing but my idea had the materials of light and transparent paper
