Buy the cheapest, thickest sketchbook you can, (in the UK, I'd hit up The Works)and some pens, ballpoint maybe, preferably fineliners, like these bad boys, then fill it up.
There are tons of resources available.
Some tips I have picked up:
Start with perspective, simple one-point perspective and a bunch of boxes ( try this place ), and just fill sketchbooks up.
Split your drawing time into practice and personal, still draw stuff you love, but make time to just practice. Noone else will see the results, it's just for you to learn how things look.
Use reference, not tracing if you can avoid it, as much as you can. Learn what things actually look like, how bits of the body fit together and work. Draw what you see, not how you think things look.
Try and find others who are learning too and learn together, even just posting stuff online for advice.
*From the last one, try and see advice as positive, noone is perfect and (other then the occasional twat), use what they have said to get better :)
Sorry for the wall of random stuff, I'm still early in my journey too and these are the tips I keep hearing again and again. Good luck!! Can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.
No need to apologize! I didn't know lingo or anything when I first started looking into this stuff either, and there's a lot of interchangeable terms.
So a 'drawing tablet' is usually going to refer to a separate drawing pad that you plug into a USB port on your computer like an Intuos.
If you're drawing directly on the screen, that's usually called a 'tablet monitor' or 'pen display' like a Cintiq. Those are much more expensive (I'm still saving up for mine), but they're frankly awesome. If you ever get a chance to try one out at a Microsoft or Apple store, go for it!
Hopefully that clears things up a bit. That said, for a starter drawing tablet I would say take a look at the Wacom Bamboo for an affordable, no no-bells-and-whistles experience so you can get used to using one. The first two weeks or so are pretty awkward, as you have to get used to associating what you see on your monitor with how your hand is moving on the tablet. Don't worry if things look super crappy at first, you will get better with practice.
Hi everyone, this is Kelvyn, author of The Many Adventures of Peter and Fi. Thank you so much for this wonderful artwork! This is the first time Beruka has ever been drawn and I love the way you brought the character to life! I especially like the effect you chose for the blue steel axehead!
For anyone curious about the series, you can find out more over at r/peterandfi and check out the first book on Amazon
This is the best one i’ve tried and that have given me a cool result and i’m comfortable with. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002UCYCBE/ref=psdcmw_1069802_t2_B002UCUGSM
Try if you can the 0.1 and 0.3 awesome pens tbh
These are great! I do a lot of character drawing (especially rpg themed) myself. I really like the variety of characters you've presented. I hope you post more soon!
P.S. If you're interested this is my portfolio:

P.S.S. This is the tablet I use (super cheap equivalent to Wacom), Huion:

As others have mentioned GIMP is a great program, very much like photoshop and an excellent place to learn prior to shelling out for PS. You should use a tablet for sure,
wacom makes excellent tablets and you can find them for relatively cheap. This one is rather small but you could get a refurbished intuos pro for not much more. Good luck in your journey!
No the problem is with the expression, not the rendering. I think you didn't commit to an expression, so you did sort of a neutral one, but it comes off as jovial.
You should pick this up and run through it. This is one of the best expression books, because it doesn't use actors faking emotions for the photo-shoot. These are reproductions of candid photographs of expressions, so they're real:

Have a look at that.
yeah its a pain! i was actually really lucky and got mine for £8!!
theres a few 2nd hand stores on amazon that have copies...

I bought three sets of these things, which are about the right size, for $3 per pack at Best Buy. Amazon link 'cos it's convenient.

Glad you asked! It just so happens I released one last month, and it's on Amazon!
If you haven't yet, try watercolour pencils. They go on like coloured pencils but you can wet them to create all sorts of blending effects.
They're relatively inexpensive too
Nice work!
Reminds me of the Downer comics stylewise. https://www.amazon.com/Downer-Wandering-Monster-Kyle-Hunter/dp/1601250223
Snap a pic dude, also if you really want a tablet I used this for a long time, great tablet but are very vulnerable to electrice damage so if you get it, make sure you don't leave it plugged, especially during a storm lol.
I have one of these. It's a cheaper Cintiq basically but it works just fine. I use Photoshop CC.
Uhhhh
