For start its good to choose your style.

I would recommend Gimp as a free alternate to Photoshop as well.

If you can't install just paint can work really.
Drawing related to imagination. So improve it can be more help for than anything else.

1. Just Draw.
2. If its Pixel Art = Aseprite.
If its normal digital art = Krita.

You definitely could start the analog way (up to you). Getting the basics right will go a long way (yadda, yadda, a solid foundation, yadda, yadda, build your skill level up, yadda, yadda).
Any pen/pencil + any solid enough piece of paper, and you'll be ready.
Personally, I would look into learning two things: how to abstract anything (a.k.a. make it into circles, squares, and triangles) and speed drawing of poses (don't start drawing static, stiff, very-detailed figures).
Think on how sculpting starts with a simple shape.
Train your muscles to draw loosely what you see... And then you'll be able to do the same on your drawing device (even if it was a mouse).

P.S.: I'm attaching 3 drawings I made during meetings.
P.P.S.: Like any skill, you can develop it
P.P.P.S.: Best of luck in your journey

If you really can't draw for $hit, give blender a try. It's free btw. You need a full keyboard though, numeric keypad handles the views, you can't do without it.

Download — blender.org

Everyone sucks at first. It's not because you're bad, it's just because your taste is better than your current skill. The only real "secret" to getting good is drawing a lot — even messy, ugly, weird drawings. That's how you level up. Like XP farming lol. Now, about programs you can use: Krita (free) and FireAlpaca

So idk if you're still taking advice but I can help, I just have experience in 2D drawing tho.
1) Drawing requieres a lot of patience, and I mean it, I've seen a lot of people give up because they want to do "complicated" subjects (cool poses, perspectives and all of that) and get discouraged because they can't get it "right", start slowly and when you feel you're ready, move to the next level. I recommend drawing in paper and pencil as well to not lose practice, it can be the cheapest you can find.
2) Krita is really good and is free, even a toaster can run it and has a lot of tutorials and plugins to download. Blender is also good, although is much complex and can be very overwhelming (it can say about drawing in general tho).
Or if you want, just pirate popular programs like Clip Studio Paint, Sai, etc lmao
