Do you have any digital art questions or tips you might want to share?

I am using Krita. Could anyone give me tips on shading?

Use complimentary colors, NEVER use fucking black for shading, And keep track of how many colors you've used.

I wouldn't exactly agree with the "never shade woth black" tip. It depends on what kind of style you're going for. Comic and pop art can make it work, for example. But if you're using something like smooth shading, complimentary colors generally work.

Also consider the color of the light source and the subject, that effects how the shadows will look.

We barely even see pop/comic art anymore, It's all being replaced with globohomo and cookie cutter horseshit.

Use an AI to make art instead of drawing it yourself.

DrawABox.com is a good site to start with learning to draw with volume, perspective and precision
huevaluechroma.com is a good site to learn how colour and light works

Yea I have a question what site can I use to draw and transfer the drawing to e6? That is free to use

Deviantart, furaffinity, inkbunny, twitter, and others I forgot.

I think you can upload pictures directly to e621, but having another site as source is always nice, I believe.

Thought I'd add if you're using Android, some (typically USB-C) based drawing tablets actually allow you to draw on the phone using the tablet plugged in as a separate pad. You have to look at the support the tablet has and if your phone/tablet supports this.
Usually downloaded software will be more performant than a web browser one because web browser software runs in a VM which will just slow down drawing operations even more than a downloaded app would.
