Okay, I spent some time as a computer artist and still touch on it sometimes. I taught myself photoshop and started drawing in there. The 99 dollar wacom tablet works very well, I actually like it a lot better than having a big tablet.

The program you use kind of depends on the type of work you want to create. IE - Illustrator is the best program to use if you want to make vector artwork, painter is good for the fine art painting type of looks and photoshop is capable of both but not the best for either

I think a good way to learn the concepts is to put an image into it and try to illustrate from it (like tracing). You can use a scan or a photo
