What tablet did you get? I have a tiny little Intuos Wacom, and it was a bit to get used not only to the interface but also the proportions of screen to tablet. I got the hang of it by just playing around with it a lot and I can say that I didn't touch it for a year and when I picked it up again I still knew how to use it. I mostly use Krita btw but I've also used Blender ( I think I recommend Krita of the 2 unless you wanna animate mayhaps? )

Thanks for the reply! :^) I have a Wacom One, it's medium size so it's pretty comfortable to use, doesn't have any buttons or anything but it seems solid and I'll just have to train my hand-eye coordination probably :P I've started with Krita but it's so overwhelming to learn! if you have any tips like what shortcuts to set or dockers to use I'd love to know because I don't have any sort of workflow right now (+_+)

@Cacctus32 I think the only tip I can give is that if you know how to use a mouse then you know how to use a screenless tablet as it is basically the same motor skill. Idk but framing it like that helped for me.

As for Krita, and keep in mind I'm not exactly a journeyed artist, I just cut down most of the features down to the most basic stuff I needed aka layers, having a brush that works, knowing how to change color, and the most basic tools like erasing and doing straight lines, and just start experimenting from there. I don't think there's much point in throwing yourself to all the little features from the get go (true for every piece of software). Everything else I'd probably just recommend YouTubing for maybe even your local Art forum cuz people no doubt use Krita
