Where to begin with graphical output?

I may sound like I don't know what I'm talking about here, because I don't quite. I have some basic knowledge of C++ but I'm sort of getting tired of making things in the console. It's probably the best path to continue down as a beginner but I feel I'm sort of losing my motivation without, at the very least, knowing the next step toward producing a more graphical game or being able to maybe experiment with it to the extent that I can.

(Keep in mind I don't really know how to ask about this, so sorry if I sound like an idiot.)

All I would like to know is the tools I will need for graphical/more visual output and a source where I can learn how to utilize it. If you have any recommendations about the best way to go as a beginner, I will gladly accept them, but I really want to start messing around with this sort of thing.

Sorry if this information could easily be found elsewhere here, I'm sort of new here.

Thanks for your help,
Kelsomatic
