No no pathetic ;m; best bun bun<3

Sal, u so kind *huggles*; u;

It depends on what exactly youre trying to do, more often than not, its you, and not the program. Stuff like line weight, and learning shadows and color theory wont change with the program used.

I'm trying to experiment with things but they aren't coming out the way I would like ^^;
I'm not happy with my coloring technique ATM. Been trying to figure out how to do more painterly stuff but it seems like a lost cause for me :'D

Keep playing with it.
The marker is great for translucent effects because it locks an opacity.
The brush is great for smokey line effects.
The watercolor brush can smudge things together for blending while laying down another color on top lightly. Use a big brush.
The pencil is great for clean, sharp lines.

Tap a point, then hold shift and tap another to generate a clean, straight line.
There's a button on the top left called "Opacity Lock" - check that button, and you can only draw over what lines you already have down.
It's great when you just want to color over lines, or make things stand out in particular.

If you can't figure something out, cheat!
Figure out ways to fake things out to make your life easier.

Can't figure out shading?
-> Click inside the lines (if they're closed) with the wand tool, then on another layer over your coloring, smudge in black/charcoal grey over everything with the air brush, then smudge it with the water color brush until it looks about right!
-> If you are dealing with line gaps the wand won't stop going through, grab the 'select' tool and draw around to close off the gaps manually!

Shapes just don't look right?
-> Hide em. Shirts for complicated body stuff. Pants for weird leg things. Natural occlusion, like bushes, or crinkles in blankets.
-> Ignore em. Do something else for a while, then come back to it. See if you really need that thing after all.
-> Fake it. Mess around with the air spray or marker underneath your lines on another layer until something works.
-> Use a thousand layers. Merge them only when you're happy with everything
-> Give every body piece its own layer, and every character its own folder.

Play with EVERYTHING.
Push every button.
See what everything does.
Mess with the sliders in the advanced options and see what changes.

Practice straight lines by hand. Hundreds of them.
Practice decent circles by hand. Thousands of them.
Triangles. Squares. Letters.
Open up by writing your name a hundred times.
Write silly sentences to get your wrist into form.

Find out what you like about the art you like, and then try and recreate it.
Figure out how you can cheat - nothing is as complicated as people make it.
Find a way to make things easier on yourself and ride it for all it is worth.

At some point in the tunnel vision, you'll realize you're thinking less and just doing more.
Keep at it until that happens.

Oh yeah, and 'Smoothing' in the top right.
Crank that shit to 15, son.
You'll instantly feel like a pro.

LoL, will do Rene! ;D

I have played around with some of the features (been even watching tut vids on YT). I think right now I'm just struggling with finding a lining and coloring technique that makes me happy. It's like every couple pieces I do something changes > v<;
Thank you for this ton of advice and I will be sure to try all things out~!

Keep doing sheets of wigglies.
Set to 1500x1500 and just go nuts.
Do one wiggle, then change your settings a bit, do another, repeat.
Once you reach the right side (or left) of your canvas, glance back and see what the differences are.

Repeat this while you're practicing circles and clean triangles, or clean letters.
Do some with the pen, the marker, the air brush, the brush, and keep blending stuff with the waterbrush.
It's a good way to get on-hands experience with your tools.

By the time you've gone through all of the tools, you'll feel more familiar with your hands too.
Plus you can start judging dimensions and proportions better.
Things like what all you can fit on a canvas, the 'size' of your hand on the canvas.
The more you play with it analytically, the better you can fit things in intuitively.
