The whole reddit of Huion, XP pen and wacoms are all full of people who've found out that their tablets are complete garbage. Surprise, surprise, no company has any quality control whatsoever! In fact, that garbage is all likely made in the same factory in the first place.

This is why you should always keep your receipt and buy that shit from brick and mortar stores from people who will actually fulfill their end of the warranty. And don't think to yourself that samsung devices or ipads are immune to that bullshit either, but at least I'm sure those devices are built for actual practical use with the screen on are less likely to shit themselves than cintiqs or else an electronic giant (and not just a literal who like Wacom) would be getting sued.

0) Thumbnail all compositions
1) Steal compositions from the best artists until you can come up with them on your own. Observe what they do to make it look good
2) Framed Ink is an excellent resource for learning how to make your own compositions
3) Observe what compositions look like in movies, TV shows, anime and games. Movies, TV shows in particular - in every frame these have been specifically chosen for a reason!
4) To improve your imagination, you should also read more widely. Books, manga and comics etc are very good sources of ideas and will improve your "creativity"
5) Creativity is basically 80% what already exists and 20% of remixed bullshit.
6) You can use 3D or 3D painting in photoshop or drawing in blender or drawing in a 3D program to map out compositions and change them way more easily than in a 2D program.

Anyway, just my 2 cents is to buy a computer with a dedicated GPU. You never know when you might need it
