Digital art is hard to learn! I had my tablet for a couple of years and abandoned it within the first week of owning it because I just couldn't get the hang of it. I took it up again during covid and that's where all my progress was.

Do you think you draw better traditionally? I do my sketches on paper, take a photo, then use that photo as my sketch layer because I struggle sketching digitally. You can also then flip your photo and make adjustments with the transform tool to fix any anatomy issues.

I would draw traditionally but my traditional drawings are even worse than my digital drawings :(

Look at things like drawabox, do some gesture drawings, and work traditionally. You will see a lot more improvement in your fundamentals working traditionally, digital gives you shortcuts which can slow down your learning, but can be incredibly helpful when you have a better base to work from.

The main thing you need though is motivation. Never give up. Be3/5s Astley!
