I am getting familiar with different brushes in Krita, and hoarding any good bundles I can find. Advanced brushes can make certian things, particuarilly textures and hair, a lot easier.

I have been trying a few different methods to make dragon scales, this one being made with a reptile texture brush and a few layers underneath.

I also found a cloud brush makes nice looking clouds very easily.

Here are some of my favorite brush packs so far:

Rakurri Brush Set V2

FizzyFlowers Essential Brushset V2

Grass and Fields Brush Pack - KMC Visuals

Basic Cloud Brushes - Bea2

For the past month or so I have been learning Spine 2D. Spine lets you create skeletal based animations, which can greatly reduce filesize compared to using spritesheets. It also makes it easier to create natural feeling animations, as it can interpolate between keyframes for you. Spine pro also supports meshes and mesh deformation, which can be weighted to bones so moving a bone can deform specific vertices

Here is a small example of making a butterfly animation
