This type is ideal for use as a beginner's tool since it is less expensive and has a high enough pen pressure sensitivity of 4,096. (I used to use an earlier model with approximately 1,000-2,000 sensitivity and can say that 4,096 is more than enough.) By the way, the tablet's size is a little small, therefore it might not be suitable for sketching on a large screen display. In any case, it may be plugged in and used to draw with a smartphone.

I used to use this type, although with an older model, for around 5-6 years and it worked perfectly for me. (As an aside, I'm now using a Wacom Cintiq 16.) This model features 8,192 pen pressure levels, which is twice the sensitivity of the standard Intuos model and allows you to draw a considerably smoother line. I'm a big admirer of Wacom since their pen pressure is very clever! To be honest, I had tried other tablet brands and was dissatisfied. The drawing surface on the Intuos Pro is significantly bigger than on the standard Intuos. If you've just begun learning digital art and are looking for a moderate product that will serve you well in the long run, this is it!

This model is a display tablet for starters. And, yes, it is Android-compatible. This means you can connect the Wacom One with your Android device! Even though the display screen is small (13.3 inches), it's better than painting on your phone's 5.5-inch screen. To be honest, I don't have the opportunity to get into the details of using this model. However, according on my art experiences, its specifications with 2048 pressure sensitivity and features are enough for any beginner who has just begun their art adventure and does not need to spend a huge sum of money.

The iPad + Apple Pencil is the ideal combo of drawing tools for touch screen tablets. I used to try drawing on the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and was amazed at how smooth the line is and how there is no parallax between the pen tip and the screen. Very amazing! Furthermore, you will receive the Apple M1 processor, which is Apple's most recent powerful chip, inside your iPad! The benefit of utilizing an iPad is that you don't have to buy another PC or laptop to start sketching on the screen.

Clip Studio Paint is an amazing software for making digital illustrations. For years, I've been using the Mac version of Clip Studio Paint. There are other drawing apps available, but few can compete with Clip Studio Paint's ease of use, creative features, and fluidity. Because of its simplicity, I can produce the most professional illustrations in a reasonable amount of time. Even more impressive is how simple it is to download art assets from the Clip Studio asset store, such as custom brushes, patterns, 3D models, and so on. If you just want to use Clip Studio Paint for drawing digital illustration, the Pro version is more than enough! (You can upgrade to Ex version later.) Actually, there are Android and iOS versions of Clip Studio Paint, but you must pay a monthly fee to use them on those platforms.

Before switching to Clip Studio Paint in 2017, I was a great admirer of Photoshop. In some cases, such as creating a proper PSD file, creating graphics for my website, and applying blur effects to my illustrations, I still utilize Photoshop. Though I no longer paint or sketch in Photoshop, it is still an excellent piece of graphic software for me, particularly for typography. By the way Photoshop is a subscription-based purchased and you need to pay monthly fee for using the software. If you want to use Photoshop, I recommend purchasing a “Photography Plan,” which allows you to use Photoshop at the lowest cost while also allowing you to use Lightroom.

This is a must-have tool for me when it comes to organizing my drawing references. I've been using this software for years and can't recommend it highly enough. PureRef is a board that allows you to organize your refs. PureRef allows you to easily zoom in and out, as well as flip and rotate your reference images. Furthermore, you may effortlessly drag and drop any image onto PureRef.

SketchUp is a fantastic 3D modeling application that I frequently use for the backgrounds in my drawings. It has proved to be an excellent application for my needs, since it is not as difficult to use as some of the more expensive programs, nor is it as limiting as some of the free ones. SketchUp features a useful tool called the 3D Warehouse that allows you to easily search for 3D models that you're likely to use. You may also design, modify, and mix 3D models to suit your needs. SketchUp also features a 2D image export tool that allows you to export the 3D model as a 2D line art image. If you need to use them in commercial artwork, you might consider purchasing an annual license for the Shop version.

Canva is my fave SAAS and also the best graphic design platform ever! It came in handy when I needed to create a graphic for my website as well as content for social media. Canva's stock photographs are really handy, and everything is stored in the cloud, allowing you to edit your design at any time and from any place. If you are a content creator, I strongly advise you to use Canva since it will save you time and money!

This is a book that I really must have. I use it to learn and understand the fundamentals of human anatomy. Everything in this book is well-described and informative. They also simplified every part of the human anatomy for us!

My favorite book on drawing illustrations. This book is jam-packed with helpful art fundamentals from the ground up, such as line, tone, color, how to tell a story, how to come up with ideas, and so on.

It is the finest book for learning how to draw perspectives. In  this book, you'll learn about the horizon, vanishing point, and the essential relationship of eye level. This book will also show you how to position your characters and objects in your artwork, as well as all of the other elements required for great perspective drawing.

One of my favorite art platforms is Pixiv. There is a ton of great art work from Japanese anime-style artists that may be used as creative references and motivation.

Pixivision is a website that mixes outstanding artwork from Pixiv into a theme. You may find what you're looking for simply Google searching “your keywords + pixivision,” and you'll be surprised at how many gorgeous and inspiring arts are available.

Pinterest is always my first choice for seeking references. When looking for anything, don't forget to use the algorithm. Pinterest's best feature, in my opinion, is the ability to establish your own private pin board to collect your reference images.

Creative Uncut is a video game art library. There is a ton of artwork from the game available. If you're seeking for references such as game characters, background photos, posters, and so on, you may find them here.

I rarely use Art Station. However, it's one of the best sources for concept art and realistic style art. If your art style is semi-realistic or realistic and you would love to work on a concept design, I recommend this website.
