I use clip studio paint to draw my comics, on an IPad with an apple pencil (I don’t know what generation they are :3). For my novel, I use Pages on my IPhone, then just copy and paste it to Tapas. (I don’t know any drawing programs that are free)
Tips for beginners? DON’T START WORKING ON A BAJILLION PROJECTS AT ONCE! (Seriously, I learned that the hard way) In other words don’t be impatient to share your stories like me. I work on 3 (thought about starting another one) comics, and one novel. One more tip. Don’t use Affinity Designer to draw, it us the WORST!
Here are the links to my comics:
