I want to get into digital drawing. What subjects should I draw first?
 
I already have the equipment and software. But what would you recommend drawing first?

Circles. Lots and lots of circles. Assuming you have some sort of tablet, you’re going to want to break in the pen and the surface. At first, especially if you have a Huion, it can take a good half hour of rubbing the surface with the pen to get it to not be grabby and grainy. But after you ‘break them in’ you can draw a lot easier without having to deal with the grittiness they can sometimes have.
 
Also circles are always a great way to start learning a new drawing tool. Draw circles and when you’ve got those down do squares and then spheres and cubes and tubes and lots of regular solids.
 
Then when those are working take the circles and tubes and cubes and put them together until they look like what you want to draw, add a layer on top, and draw the thing you meant to draw in the first place.

Got a couple of classic golden age comic posters, and some nice paintings I found in flee markets and the like, nothing too high value ‘cept for a couple of japanese masterpieces (one sumie-e and one ukiyo-e that I’m pretty sure is Edo era) that some idiot was selling for peanuts from his grandma’s attic. I tell’s ya, arriving at the start of flee markets can yield some great treasures!

Unironically, yes. Dude’s just trying to live his life and all those little shits are making a ruckus and pestering despite knowing he wants none of it.

Ever feel so frustrated over some large bag o’ chips, you felt being scammed to find out like almost 70% of it’s content are nothing but air?
