Also when it comes to computer art i recommend getting a drawing tablet (Nothing big or expensive since itâs not needed) (this is not a necessitate but it makes the learning experience much easier) drawing with a mouse is very difficult and hard to control
When it comes to phones/ipads or tablets i would say to make it easier on yourself instead of using your finger get a stylus pen (once again not a necessitate it just makes the learning experience easier)

Itâs fun to share tips itâs no prob.
I gave these tips to @Aims1141 and sheâs so good now⊠I hope these help!
Force Fade
The force fade tool will help when you want the edges to get smaller and have a âpointâ at the end
Canvas Sizes
A lot of newbie editors/artists tend to just have their canvas at 1000x1000 or something, but this is considered a small canvas, which would result in lower quality art (pixelated lines, harder to control your brush) but when you have a bigger canvas, the line will be neater
I recommend something in the 2000s (ie; 2100x2100) though if your canvas is too big, you wonât be able to add many layers
Layers
Ive seen this in many editors art on the forums, but a lot of editors color on the same layer as an outline that they have or they add layers above their art and color
Do not do this
Your outline will get lost and it will look messy.
When coloring, add new layers under the outline layer and create a new layer for new colors (highlights, shadows, hair base, hair highlights etcetera) this will make it easier for you in the long run because if you need to erase something, youâre not erasing everything else either.
Magic Wand and Lasso and Selection Layer
I did not know about this when I first started editing, but when I learned about it, it changed my life! These tools will select a certain area of your art and even if you accidentally color out of the lines, it wonât let you color out of that selected area!
But the magic wand will not select anything with openings in the outline(s)
In that case you could either use the lasso
Or the selection layer (color in the parts you want selected)
Blur Tool
Some art has hard shadows and highlights, but in the case that you want soft edges, you can use the blur tool
I hope this helped! I also have a video by @nighty.epy on instagram, where she explains how to use ibisPaint X in more depth

When I first started editing I didnât understand the concept of layers. So I decided to only use 1. Itâd do embarrassing to think about but it was true!

Mhmmm. Honestly I thought layers were complicating and a waste of time
Haha! I can see that tho. They are complicated and hard to manage, but they are useful

Mhmmm. One problem is that even though ibis paint said they took away the layer limit I was making the pfp I have rn had like layers and they gave me no more layers warning thatâs why I didnât shade the clothing.
Which brings me to another tip. If you are working on something and they tell you no more layers. Save it as a png. Delete that art work make a new art work load up the png and continue from there. I honestly just thought of this now. Shush.
THANKSS FOR THE TAG RAYY
And honestly there is not much to tell lol, like many other people said, digital art skill is not something you wake up with and suddenly draw like saphilita, it takes time (not alot, it depends on your determination and commitment) when I first started doing art, I was fully commited to it, LIKE REALLLLYY commited. But now, I am really busy so I dont have enough time to keep practicing, I still do it atleast once a day⊠thats why you see a major diffrence between my past artwork and now, I mean I still cringe at my first ever edit (which back then I thought was de bomb) Ik in the future I will be looking back and say âWTF WAS I EVEN THINKING?!â but thats how life is lol, ya cant change!
One more thing, NEVER BE AFRAID TO TRY NEW STYLES honestly, half of my work are from dumb experiment that I did wrong, but now it looks pretty cool lol,
This is not a popular opinion, but I donât ever think ppl âfind their styleâ , maybe its just with me idk, but I dont stick to one style, I am a person of variety and Iâll just keep jumping from shitty styles to shittier styles.
Idk, not hating on ppl who âhave found their styleâ but its just my opinion on this 
you are welcome to disagree with it!
PHEW THATS ALOT

I totally agree with your style thing because honestly I never had one style like sure some of mine are super comic and some are not but you get what I mean I feel like every edit was in a different style
