First off, welcome! We’re glad to have you :)

A lot really depends on how you want to learn. Everyone has different styles and techniques. Some pay for lessons or workbooks. Some trace and trace and trace some more. Some freehand copy. This sub is a good start!

If you do have access to a printer there are lots of free printable PDF practice sheets to use. Below is just one I found from just a google search. Pinterest is a good resource as well

If you’d like a book to work from these are a couple of good choices or any from amazon with good reviews.

And don’t forget some good quality paper as soon as you get a chance. Rhodia is good or some just use laser print paper. They’re both really smooth and hold ink well.

1. I'd say some sort of spa-related thing...bath bombs, face mask, whatever. something relaxing! Looking at your list, I'd go with the Pokeball bombs...I only say that because I'm a Pokemon nerd myself, lol.
   
   
2. This. Or this. Orrrr dis. So that I can make my planner pretty and do artsy fartsy things!
   
   
3. Ummm, going to summon a random person since I'm still new here! u/AdelaideSaphire. She had bath bombs on her list too!! So I say that. Or Funkos, cuz I personally collect them too :P

I just started and personally find this book helpful. For more practice, you can also buy tracing paper and trace lettering as well.
