Hey guys, I’m looking into getting a lightbox to practice some actual drawing fbf. Anyway, I’ve never used an official lightbox before and I’m hoping I can really get into the true animation on paper but I don’t know how much money to invest in this. I’ve been browsing [www.animationsupplies.com](http://www.animationsupplies.com)  
to see some options, and it seems the more expensive ones tend to have better value.( whoodathunk? 😛 ) I’d like to hear your opinion if possible. Thanks. 😃

Also, before you go on and ask me if I’m sure I want to get into this, I would rather spend a couple hundred dollars on one of these with some supplies rather than go to a full fledged animation school paying the big bucks only to find out if it is not for me… (although at this point I don’t think thats possible, on account I’ve visited the school’s open house more than a couple of times.)

I really feel dedicated to this stuff, I draw for hours every day, whenever I get into any sort of flash animation the only thing that can stop me is fatigue, and just thinking about animation gets me all worked up. (-:
