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

A good practice for drawing people is figure drawing. You try to capture the essence of a pose or a movement in just a few strokes. It helps immensely on gaining an understanding and feel of natural motion. Line of Action has a huge set of reference pictures and decent customizability. Link: Line of Action
