Ah, this helps quite a bit. I sometimes take a stab at UI/icon/character design with Sketch. What helped me a lot was https://bezier.method.ac/ and redrawing characters from Headspace. I've also used Figma here and there.

So your tips are quite helpful since I've never tried to start from a blank canvas. Also, dribble.com is a really cool tip.

Thanks! :D
