With a little painting foundation, how to start learning to draw Chinese style cartoons?

From the point of view of drawing lines, I personally think that it is correct not to use hand-drawn boards if the highest quality is pursued. Drawing on paper is not limited by the resolution (that is, the most critical data LPI of the hand-drawn board), and the smoothest lines can be drawn. When scanning, as long as the DPI is set high, the lines drawn by high-end hand-painted boards with tens of thousands of dollars will be smoother. So you must have no problem with the draft.

Regarding coloring, I still suggest hand-drawn board, just use the middle end of Hanwang. LPI 3000, with enough coloring, is cheaper than wacom's low end. If you don't need a hand-drawn board, with line drawing, as long as there are not too many gaps between lines, it is very time-saving for ps to choose a constituency, which is far more time-saving than that on your paper. But it's really convenient to have a hand-drawn board to control the layering of colors. If you don't have many layers of transition, such as this picture I posted, you can also use PS, which is efficient. You just need to choose a selection with the same color with a pen and other tools, and then fill it. But from the picture you posted, it takes a lot of effort to achieve that effect by operating PS with a pure mouse.

So the pursuit of perfection = drew a scanned and colored hand-drawn board on the online manuscript paper.
