Its very painful
Out of all the stuff I was recommended like Ctrl Paint and the like the most useful was a single picture that sadly I don't have. It explain the method of laying flat colors, blending them laying flat details and so

The only thing I can say is make sure you invest in a good tablet. The rest is relearning things you know how to do.

this, it's incredibly demotivating when you first start working digitally, but keep your head on and stick with it. Thousands of artists can draw with a tablet and so can you!

The most important thing is to draw as much as you can to practice drawing digitally.

Some things to consider
>don't use textured brushes - they're distract you and be really confusing, just use a hard round brush, do of course make use of pressure sensitivity and opacity sensitivity but stay away from very crazy digital things for like a year. Painting softwares often have lots of confusing blending elements and strange brush mechanics, you can simplify things by painting with 100% opacity - so that when make a mark it will be the colour you want.

>Fiddle with the software and tablet as much as you can so you can get it as close to feeling natural as possible, set hotkeys on your keyboard and tablet to do things like 'rotate the canvas', 'pan across the canvas', 'eraser tool', etc.
