Finally found an art thread to contribute to!
Finished this up yesterday.
This was born from a funny occurrence during last weekend's Splatoon Splatfest where someone on my team had the name, Harime Nui.
You can grab the full-res version here. It's pretty large.

As far as tablets for drawing goes, I've only ever used Wacom stuff and they're great but your sister may have a bit of trouble with the disconnect that comes with digital drawing. The Wacom Intuos should be a solid beginner option though the size preference depends on you guys I suppose. As far as software goes... I can't help you much there >.>

I would default to any Wacom with at least 6x8 active area. I haven't tried cheaper alternatives yet, but Wacom makes a solid product that most people trust.
So the Intuos Pro Medium is the newest of the line, but a little pricey. Maybe try to find a medium Intuos 5, 4, or 3 iteration (I'm using a Intuos 3 right now). They usually come with decent bonus software, so she can get her toes wet on those. Right now it seems to come with Autodesk Sketchbook Express, trial of the latest Corel Painter, and Anime Studio. I think they all sound good and she can decide what to get when she gets more comfortable.
Wacom's current cheaper line of tablets run smaller but come with corresponding software for a beginner; the Wacom Intuos Art has Corel Painter Essentials 5, the Wacom Intuos Comic has Clip Studio Paint Pro and Anime Debut 10.
I have more bias toward Clip Studio Paint (which is similar to Paint Tool SAI, but more tools), so I think the Intuos Comic is the better deal. lol
Depends on what kind fo art your sister actually likes making though. is she more of a cartoonist? Illustrator? Painter?
I recently tried the Wacom Intuos S, Intuos Pro S, and Intuos Pro M. I kept the Intuos Pro M. The larger area is indeed more comfortable when drawing, as it allows you to use the range of movement of your elbow better, regardless of your display size. I'd also go with the Pro line because it's better resolution is indeed quite noticeable, but an Intuos M should work fine as well.
Apart from that general recommendation, size and resolution of the tablet should also depend on the size of your sister's display.
As for software, Photoshop, while the de-facto industry standard, can be quite complicated. Consider Sketchbook Pro or Manga Studio 5 as more painting-oriented alternatives. They also have some nice features that Photoshop does not, like perspective grids, better default brushes (Photoshop needs more customization or third-party brush sets), and auto-smoothing (Manga Studio 5 only).
I think former Intuos tablets used Bluetooth for wireless connection, which might have issues with some computers. The new ones use a dedicated USB dongle with a custom wireless protocol. I had no issues so far.
^ Never start off with "It's bad"!
I've been going through stuff at the moment, but getting back on track with some commissions. Someone's characters from an explicitly cheesy space opera they made with a friend.
I have a bunch of commissions of couples to do. Not looking forward to it. Don't ever want to do them again! I need to pick up my slack, I feel like I'm not giving my 243%.

Not as bad as it could be. The one of the left I think looks straight. The kneeled Cammy's face looks really flat however.
Capella that's a digital drawing right?
yeah, the face on the kneeling one I botched in general. I'm thinking of trying to redraw it but bigger, I think my problem was that it was kinda small on the page.
Yeah, I drew it in Paint Tool SAI.

Trying to get used to blending in photoshop.
In my defense... it is true
Also, that pic is awesome.
It will stay true so long as you believe it.
Also here lies a drawing in which i will dislike in the growing days.
i feel like clawing my brain out. And draw more things to get better. Like more shrapnel robo nipple tassels.

Themes from reddit's /r/SketchDaily from the yesterday and the day before.
I got to figure out how to paint/draw grass instead of relying on premade photoshop brushes.

I love how you render things.
I'm attempting to get back into personal things since it's been a while. Work got in the way and all...
Here are a couple things:
Just line work and a separate quick and dirty color job, about 2 hours.
This I did Thursday, about 1.5 hours :/
I feel inspired, so this is a good thing

Good to see you posting again! Digging your colours as usual.
cropped bit of my current speed paint commission since it's nsfw. I ended up getting realyl attached to this though and projected a lot of personal feelings onto it so I'm spending longer than I should on it. really...unfortunately I'll have to put an end to it tomorrow.

I was working on something just now to post with this comment, but photoshop just shut down on me, so I'm done for the night.
Edit:
Here is a commission I've been working on. These are dials used for tracking unit numbers.
Thank you
I'm always inspired by your colors as well. I love your choice of skin tones. They are quite unique.

I haven't posted in a long while, but I've been doing little doodles and stuff here and there.
Today I wanted to post this:
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rotten-mountains
To be honest, I started it yesterday, but most of the work was done today so I wanna think it was almost a one day thing! Done during breaks at work and a bit of extra time at home.

I wanted to share one of my recent drawings. I don't know how I went from this
to this.
Wrinkles are terribly hard to draw. I said this was going to be my last drawing for a while, but I don't really want my last one to be as flawed as this one. This is probably the worst shading I've done since I started to take drawing seriously. The strokes I made are clearly visible especially the ones at the bottom that go outside the line. I fucked up the eyes when I decided to color them in, and I think the forehead's too big. I didn't do the photo justice.

Thanks man, and good luck with your commissions.
Good to see your stuff again. Always makes me want to attempt environments; then always remember I am too lazy.
Though I understand it can be upsetting sometimes when you feel like you haven't made progress, I can certainly see it myself. I can see better sense of control with your strokes, and your style is becoming more defined. Why will it be your last drawing for a while?
I finished this commission; full thing is on my tumblr since it is nsfw.
and did page 3
going into a downward mood towards my work again. Soon I will give up on caring again as usual. Can't be bothered with the mistakes I make on the pages...I just really cant.
