I wanna do things that are graal based too (Heads, Bodies, Shields or maybe other things.)

1. Whats a good free program I can use (Mac and pc)
2. What are the easiest and harder/hardest problems I'm gonna face as a beginner
3. What are a few things I can start making that are easy but will teach me about various things?
4. Are there any good youtube tutorials?
5. Any tips you guys wanna give me or advice?
6. Easiest way to learn to shade or easiest method?

Then thats it! thanks for taking the time to answer if you did!
1. GIMP
2. Easy: Shading Hardest: creativity, i get frustrated when i want to make something but literally nothing comes to my mind cause i only think about things that have been already made
3. Cubes and balls, with those you can practice shading
4. Yes, search up a tutorial made by a youtuber by the username "BinOfTrash" she normally does drawing videos, but she does pixel art as well
5. Do it constantly, the more frequently you do it the faster you'll learn and you'll get the hang of it quickly
6. Take a flashlight and turn off the room's light, turn on the flashlight and aim it to your hand and notice how some areas are darker and those hit directly by light are lighter
