Hi! I would like to start my journey creating digital art. I'm mostly interested in 2D, although I would like to learn Blender in the future. I haven't set a learning path yet. I was wondering if it would be better to start drawing on paper and then move on to digital, or if starting with digital tools right from the start would also be a good idea. In any case, I don't know anything about drawing. Can you recommend some learning resources such as books, YouTube channels, or anything that could be helpful to start? Any advice is greatly appreciated

Like the others said, starting with physical drawing is probably the best way to go, as digital drawing is heavily based on technics made for using a pen and paper.

However, before you go and buy an expansive course that may not be right for you or an expansive professinal software suite that may be far above what you need, you should check out David Revoy's Krita tutorials, especially the ones for beginners in the categories that interest you (text and videos, greatly helped me getting started).
