Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the forum and have a question about whether Illustrator is an appropriate piece of software for a project I have in mind.

I'm trying to design a greeting card and I want to produce the graphics and drawings on my Mac and then print out the cards. If I bought a graphics tablet and a stylus is it possible for me to make my drawing on the tablet and have it transfer straight into Illustrator?

If so, is Illustrator capable of then shading and coloring the image, adjusting the lines, adjusting the size etc? In other words is Illustrator the product you would use for such a project or is there something else better suited to such a thing?

Whatever you can tell me is wonderful and I'm most appreciative. Thank you very much, I'll speak to someone soon. I'm always at (210) 865-2732 and cmgreenberg@hotmail.com. Best.

Chris.
