The odds are good that there is someone in your life who fancies him or herself an artist of some sort. Art these days is so much more than paint and pencils though. Be sure to satisfy your artists craving for supplies with these most excellent items that I myself either have or want desperately!

1.	Wacom Intuos3 9X12 USB Tablet - A Wacom tablet is a must have for any digital artist in the making and 9 x 12 is a great spacious size.
2.	Corel Painter X Win/Mac - Sure, Photoshop is great. Painter is made for artists though. It includes the ability to create with media that are just not possible with Photoshop.
3.	How To Draw Manga - This series has at least 40 books now and all offer great techniques to improve your artistic style.
4.	COPIC Set of 72 Sketch Markers - This is the ultimate set of the best artists markers on the market.

8.	Alvin and Co. Creative Center with Rounded Corners Including Chair, Black Lamp and Storage Tray - If you're gonna draw, you need an appropriate place to do it. This is that place.
9.	Itoya 11" x 14" Professional Art Profolio - Even the digital graphic artist sometimes needs to print out their work and take it on the road to show it off.
10.	Gray's Anatomy Hardcover Book - This is the original, must have book for learning anatomy. Even if your art is not of the realistic variety, it still must follow the simple rules of anatomy, and this is THE reference for anatomy.
