I decided to pick up drawing and bought myself one of the mid-budget drawing pads (Wacom Bamboo) to see if I could draw some simple touhous.

Turns out I absolutely fucking suck at drawing (I forgot), and desperately need some advice. Should I have picked up a better draw pad (it doesnt feel as fluent as when I'm using paper)

Any good tutorials for beginners? I'm not too excited to learn from deviantart/youtube artists who draw western manga style.
