Hi! I would like to start my journey creating digital art. I'm mostly interested in 2D, although I would like to learn Blender in the future. I haven't set a learning path yet. I was wondering if it would be better to start drawing on paper and then move on to digital, or if starting with digital tools right from the start would also be a good idea. In any case, I don't know anything about drawing. Can you recommend some learning resources such as books, YouTube channels, or anything that could be helpful to start? Any advice is greatly appreciated

I agree with @Thavron@Thavron@lemmy.ca 's comment. Before getting too deep i think just grab a pen and paper, better if it's a cheap sketchbook and start drawing whatever you want. Do not worry about nothing. Just draw. Over time not after too long you will start to discover your interests and favorite ways of drawing. I think asking here after that position where you know what you are looking would be better. There are endless amounts of resources online however they amount to nothing if you do not know what to look for.

So. Start drawing. Have fun. Then come back here.
