Any tips on how to get better or any good resources/communities to learn from? I've been messing with gimp and use to do abstract art on Photoshop, but haven't for a long time because I got disheartened

If you're looking for Krita-specific resources I can recommend this course by David Revoy. It goes over pretty much everything there is to know about Krita and has been a huge help to me.

It's in French but you can enable English subtitles and those seem pretty good.
As for getting better as an artist in my opinion nothing beats just practicing a bit everyday and knowing what your tools can do for you. Having some knowledge about fundamentals like composition, balance and color harmonies will also help a lot. You can find a ton of tutorials about these subjects on youtube.
Edit: I just noticed that the second part of the course doesn't have any subtitles yet. It's a shame but it's probably still worth quickly scrolling through it to get an idea about what the software can do.
