Graphic software help. Do we have digital artists/guru? software

[walkingCat]

I like graphic drawing, but I really suck in digital drawing. I have GIMP, that's right I have it and don't use it. I CAN'T! I rage quit almost immediately. One of my problems is, every time I want to edit a picture all tools work incorrectly, not the way they work when I start a new one. For example, whether I click on Erase or Pencil or Brush it does the same - it draws lines and only in black or white. Can't change color, no matter what I click/choose. Maybe I am an idiot. Maybe there is a glitch, GIMP is well known for those.

I know some basics with Gimp, but no real advanced techniques. If you can get a hold of Valen, he does a lot a lot of digital artwork

I had photoshop for years but never really learned how to use it. Then one day I decided to face swap my friend.

I'm not a super advanced user, but I can easily do stuff in gimp just as well as photoshop. It's pretty much the same for basic tasks.
