I absolutely agree. I, myself, was an MS Paint artist up until 2017-2018? so I believe amateur artists should start up there. My art route looked like this:
Paper>MS Paint>FireAlpaca (ableit, I was very shitty on there,)>Procreate
I believe good artists can start out on “slightly less advanced” art programs, but as Georgie said, do not immediately rush to art programs that are for artists that have been drawing for years. If you’ve only been drawing for ten minutes, don’t immediately say “WOW ADOBE PHOTOSHOP PRO!!!”
And, my own personal tip: doodling on paper is good for you if you want to improve your skill. You cannot believe how many math tests I have that have little dogs doodled on the side. It enables you to draw things quicker.
wow someone agrees with me,,
also I remember doing my crappy cat drawings on firealpaca about a year ago and my dad walks in like "UsE pHoToShOp!!11!!1" because that's what he uses.. he's a professional graphic designer. I was an 11 year old who just wanted the cats to look like cats and for the eyes to be roughly symmetrical. he insisted, and went through all the trouble to get his licence on my computer and what do you know! I had no idea what I was doing and I hated every minute of it, no matter how much he tried to explain. my brother also hates me for using firealpaca, but he says "JuSt UsE sAi!! and I respond with "tell me one thing that you think only sai can do" and ill immediately do the thing he said (FAR easier because firealpaca is a blessing) and smugly look at him. I know trying other programs is important to see what you like, and I have tried sai, but its just.. firealpaca without a) antialiased lines (which I ALWAYS use), b) gradients (I think.. there might be somewhere) and c) all the dumb brushes you can use in the background to look cool, such as star, leaf, thorn, flower and the classic, firealpaca (its literally the logo repeated as a brush) and all of these have multiple versions and are easily customisable. also krita just doesn't work I hate it.
I have been getting more into traditional art too (especially since I got a free sketchbook and actual good art supplies on a school trip)
(wow I just rambled for no reason)

I’m well aware that I’ve accidentally set myself on fire and it’s none of your business. I don’t need your pity water either. Let me burn in peace.

I will know your pain soon, my teeth are so messed up (one is literally SIDEWAYS) that my dentist's only hope is to wait until all my baby teeth fall out, randomly pull out a few of my adult teeth, give me braces and hope to dear god the remaining teeth might just magically fall into place

yall want art tips? well you're gosh darn getting aRT TIPS
1. this is the opposite of what people are saying but don't be in a rush to use another program than paint. if you look up "ms paint tricks" and watch a few of them you're set. I carried on using paint until I got "meh" levels of good at art and then got firealpaca, which I managed to figure out quite quickly. I tried going to medibang (there are awesome brushes for backgrounds! ) but it didn't have the animation thing and I couldn't be bothered to constantly switch between two programs so I went back to firealpaca, and I would recommend it too since it is basically ms paint but with all the things you wished ms paint had, and it also has a really nice transform tool (select something with the lasso and do ctrl + t) which helps with sketching! but also, you can become overwhelmed in firealpaca if youre a beginner, ive been there, adding so many layers with little edits and such you cant even see the art, and the limits of paint means that wont happen
2. refrences. I swear to god. when drawing something, look up as many refrences as possible. there are some poses that just dont make sense without one (example: try and draw a cat, standing, perfectly facing forwards with no refrence) and some little things that just help generally (if im drawing an animal I dont draw a lot, refrences (especially ones drawn by other artists and not photos (but also have some real life photos)) mean that it will look a lot better in general) like, the exact markings on a fox.
3. try a lot of stuff, I have like 10 art styles and counting the most used one is the pixelated, kinda simple one (all the nicheling fusions are done like this) second most used one is the lineless style (usually for more important things or something) my lineless style where I do a sketch and use the firealpaca pencil tool to then do the whole thing on one layer (usually for hollow knight art??) and my final style where I do lineart with the normal, aliased pen tool and do shading with like a watercolour brush or something (mostly from when I did art in medibang) and I love all of them, and my art would not be the same if I only did one
4. draw a lot?? sometimes when im with my friends I just draw something stupid theyre all talking about and ive done that for ages, it helped me be able to draw really quickly
5. this is a do as I say, not as I do thing but actually pay attention to where the light is coming from in a drawing, my one bad habit is putting shading wherever two things touch but that's just not how it works
6. if you want a tablet, get this £50 wacom one. I dont know what special desing it is or something but it exists and ive had it for a year and a half and it is amazing

im continuing this because I want to play niche idk
after some contemplation, glint realised that he had been sent back to the world to have one more shot at life. he thought it would be best to try and build a home for himself, and he found a nice spot under a tree.
he left his home to do some hunting, and managed to chase one meal far into the grass and into a field of flowers before the bunny met its end.
when returning to his home he found a wandering female named sprout. she was startled by the curse when it affected her, but glint managed to comfort her. he was glad to see some king of horn back in the tribe.
sprout was very pleased with her new home as there was so much pret to hunt, and glint also had the surprise of a peaceful bear. he decided to keep it around, as they needed defence.
when food had ran dangerously low the couple decided they would need to have a child to survive. the first child born was bone, who the two loved, and then heather, who glint said was named after "nobody in particular" for his dying wish.
the two children found themselves lost and alone, with barely any life left. but heather could feed the two, so not all was lost- yet
after helping her sister to feed the two, bone had to say goodbye. all the wounds from her childhood were too much.
heather now had only one mouth to feed, and decided to try and find someone. she found a wanderer called silver.
the two quickly had children named elk and bronze, and they found themselves alone at a very young age.
they had to quickly resort to hunting, before bronze fell in love with a wanderer named apple.
they had two daughters, dust and moose, before bronze and her twin died. moose was proving useful by destroying bushes, however.
the sisters grew up together under the same tree.

I used to trace a lot when I was starting to draw.
It helps to get better
But the original artist should always be credited.this is my exact outlook on tracing, I remember in reception (I think kindergarten for american people??) we traced things all the time and it helped a lot

I saved one!
It started raining and at least 15 worms were in the middle of the street and they were one of the two alive and not yet ran over.
Poor buddy...
Well at least they don't have to worry about dying by being ran over.
Should I call them a he or she?
leave them as they, we need more nonbinary icons (such as basil)
also call them.. squirmington. squirmy for short.

this is (no name baby who immediately died from sickness) and dreamer from jessimew's ahvhc playthrough!! I sent it to her on twitter but I just decided to put it here too
what do you all think? figuring out how to draw a nicheling standing from the front was torture and so was figuring out the other pose, and getting the background to work was hard too
took about two hours?? bit less maybe

I FOUND A THING ABOUT IT
well this doesn't say anything about just.. knowing what colour each month is without any reason to back it up, but it says something about tasting colours which I also do! I can taste green and sometimes blue if im sick
does this mean im cool because I have a cool mental illness
wait. it says this all could be caused by head trauma..
*flashback to when I was pushed off a giant tree stump and apparently hit my head against the wood really hard, but dont remember hitting my head*
hmm...

I love equillinox! I basically got a 100% file and left it alone, and come back for 5 hours or so every update. I do adore it though, especially for £7.50
