Hello there and welcome to dA!
Here are two articles I find really handy for newcomers:
A Guide To Connecting And Sharing On DAWhat's this all about?
DeviantArt is a HUGE website and it's easy to feel invisible, especially if you're new. The aim of this guide is to help you start connecting with other artists and their work as well as sharing your own art and encouraging feedback and interaction. It would be impossible to cover absolutely everything in one journal, so consider it a starting point and get ready to go exploring! I've included a few helpful links under each section, so you can use these as springboards to help you bounce around and find out more.
Check out welcome for an introduction to DA
Introduce yourself in theΒ Welcome Center forum

Get in the right mindset
The first thing to do is stop thinking simply in terms of what you want to get. DA, like a lot of places on the web, is a social experience. I Getting Started on DeviantArtHello and welcome!

The group page has many wonderful resources for you to take advantage of. There is even an associated chat room called :#welcome: for you to hang out in and meet some deviants ("deviants" are what we call DA's members) both new and old.
We don't want you to feel too confused while you're getting to know the website and community. It's a big place with countless ways to share your deviations (your creations) and find artwork to inspire you. So we put together this helpful Getting Started on DeviantArt guide to connect you will a number of helpful tutorials that will as

Hello Alex, welcome to DeviantArt! I like your strive for improvement, keep the energy up!
By the way, your first digital painting is actually much better than my first was back in 2013
What tablet are you using?
Have you had a traditional art background before?

Thank you, very nice of you to say! Nice to hear back of people who've been at it for a while!

I've had a look at your work and I love your style, its also cool seeing how you've grown it over time too! really impressive stuff.Β 

I studied art back in school and loved it but stupidly gave up when it came to college. Since then I have been drawing with graphite quite a bit but this was my first time in years I used colour.

I use an older Wacom Bamboo, that painting was done in Sketchbook Pro but I'm currently trying to get to grips with Photoshop too.Β

Thank you!
By the way, I use a Bamboo tablet as well
Good luck with Photoshop, it's one of the most powerful tools for digital
