Hello!

I have a few tips for digital art, for which I use Fire Alpaca, in my art advice tag, one specifically on blending colours in Fire Alpaca here. The simplest tools to use are Pen and Watercolour - the former to draw lineart, and the latter for colouring. You can play with the blending and transparency options on the watercolour brush.

You can also make coloured shapes (rectangle, ellipse and polygon) with the “Fill Tool”, or empty selections with the “Select” and “Lasso” tools - those tools make it easier to colour large areas all at once. You can also fill shapes with gradients, making blending easier. 

You can also put filters on layers - like gaussian blur, changing the hues, brightness, contrast etc. All the layer modes are there too - multiply, screen, etc. 

My advice - play around with all the tools. I’m still playing, every time I use the program. Watch speed paint videos and look up tutorials if you want an answer to something specific.
