I have collected some links below to help you get started. ## The role of drawing tablets I do recommend a drawing tablet for digital art, but you do not have to use one for everything. Many people use tablets **in addition** to other techniques. For example, some people draw on paper and then photograph or scan the drawing to get it into their computer. From there, they finish their work with a drawing tablet. ## Videos * Digital art * Nadiaxel - [Beginner's Guide to Become a Digital Artist - Drawing Tablets & Apps](https://youtu.be/bzeXcn6Amwo) 2022-07-04 * Brad Colbow - [Digital Art for Beginners (2020 Edition)](https://youtu.be/0RmGV5wALG0) 2020-02-24 * Trent Kaniuga - [Getting started with digital art: tools and practices](https://youtu.be/8OsiACxQwvM) 2022-03-02 * Marc Brunet - [THE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO DIGITAL ART (from an art teacher)](https://youtu.be/O40KGoCmpNA) 2020-12-12 * David Revoy - [Comic Book Artist - Tutorial: an illustration from A to Z with Krita](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYdEkOyFUn8) 2022-08-15 * Learning to draw and paint * [Draw like a Sir - LEARN TO DRAW FROM 0 to 100!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jjmOF1hQqI) 2023-05-21 * [Art tutorial for the intermediate painter](http://androidarts.com/art_tut.htm) * [Drawabox](https://drawabox.com/) - A free, exercise-based course focused on fundamentals. ## Social * Kawaii Sensei - There's lots of practical tips every day. * EtheringtonBrothers - More frequent practical tips.
