the challenge of learning how to do real art seems so daunting. I think the key is to do your own thing. learn from others but do what you want to do.
using my tablet was doubly daunting. not only can I not draw and paint, but using the tablet makes drawing and painting even harder.
I think what enabled me to break through that barrier and start actually creating with my tablet and the software is to think more about what I can do rather than about what I can't....to be honest, I don't even necessarily want to do what I see some of the art youtubers doing. Their work is good and I want to learn from them, but I don't want to do the same things as they do.
when you focus on what you can do it makes it a lot easier. I may not be able to draw a character or an animal, but I can draw a line, I can draw a shape, I can select a pen, pencil or brush and then select a colour and then apply that colour - maybe to fill in the shape. as I draw on the tablet and see the results on the screen, my sense of being able to control the stylus and get it to do what I want, grows. and there are different tools to explore that have different effects. I think fire alpaca is one of the simpler art softwares - that's why I started with it. I'm planning to build up to using Krita as well, and then maybe Clip Studio Paint.
