Beginner Drawing Advice

@jb2
I’ve recently decided I want to get back into drawing after almost a year or 2 off. I’m also interested in the digital side of things as I was just starting to learn it. But now I feel stuck and overwhelmed when trying to get back into it. I currently have an XP pen and I’m using Krita as my software. I don’t want to blame my software but I don’t see nearly as many tutorials for Krita as other softwares which makes learning the interface a struggle adding to my block. Additionally I find that when I draw digital it doesn’t normally look as great as when I draw traditionally. Almost clunkier and not great line quality. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. As well as anything ideas to practice drawing to simply break the block
As a beginner, use any medium you're comfortable with. So, if you feel Krita gets in the way, leave it for now. In general, there is nothing fundamentally wrong with digital, just don't overly rely on undo. Try to get it right first time.

As long as the software lets you draw, erase, and use layers, just use it the same way you would work traditionally. All the other tricks and digital shortcuts you can learn later.
