Umm sooo to all the professionals or even beginner out here , i recently got an ipad for myself and apple pencil as well and i want to start digital art and i am thinking of buying procreate , so how should i start my journey can you all guide me any type of suggestion will be helpful to me as i am a medical student and i am usually stressed with my studies and i want to use digital art as my source of peace and to maybe escape from reality ( ik that sounds horrible but yeah thats how it is heheh ) umm so should i buy procreate or is there any other free app where i can practice and eventually become better and pls also suggest some YouTubers i can take reference .
Thank you so much guys
