Digital art was something I did for fun. Then when I attended community college majoring in Art, I took my first digital art course, known as Computer Art at the time.
Yes, it was a pain. We were using Corel at the time. Years later, I upgraded to PhotoShop when it was its own company and still affordable.
Once I got into an IT Baccalaureate 'accelerated program', I was still fudging around with PhotoShop, occasionally Illustrator and InDesign, to name a few. This was in keeping with my Web Design studies so I could better edit and improve my artwork to upload to my personal website.
Now, after being out-of-the-loop with digital art for several years, I've been studying and retraining myself. Start off with the easiest app and work my way up. MS(Microsoft) Paint. I've also found art, illustrator, and comic software/apps that were free and fully-featured or affordable enough that one did not need a subscription.

I'll speak about those other softwares in the next post.
Especially a display tablet of this size: 15.6 inches. Bosto has a variety tablets: regular[opaque gray/black] to display[with its own screen].

I prefer the display type, like what animators and other digital artists use, as I learn better with visual aids. I'm using my Bosto Tablet(16HD) to clean up and erase/correct my original pen work.
NOTE: If any of my fellow artists are shopping around for an affordable display tablet, Bosto is an option. Because of supply chain disruptions, I gifted myself two display tablets from the Walmart app. It's important to shop around on Walmart and other stores online. If you see the Bosto below at least $100, it is NOT THE DISPLAY but the regular Bosto tablet.
