I use Procreate and Krita at the moment.
This was just a test drawing. My skill is diminished because I am trying to get used to drawing upright rather than flat as I am used to. This was don't on a Chuwi Ubook (Microsoft Surface knockoff). When I use my laptop, I have a huion drawing tablet that I plug in. It is much easier than this upright tablet. Any tips for comfortability when drawing on upright surfaces?

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
Why is it upright in the first place? Lay that shit down flat!
Imas I stated it is a MS surface knock off meaning it has a keyboard I need to use for shortcuts. I can't keep the keyboard on it while flattening it. I could do away with the keyboard but that would mean all the features I use shortcuts for I would have to find the menu equivalent. So much hassle. I want to learn to work on an upright canvas like a painter on an easel.
I used to use Krita on a Microsoft Surface Pro with the keyboard off. If you're willing to dedicate time to tuning your configuration, Krita will let you customize the toolbars to have the action buttons you want. There are also some touchscreen-specific gestures you can do. I think you tap two fingers to undo? It's been a while since I used Krita on a touchscreen.
Can it connect to a third party bluetooth keyboard?
That's an idea.
I was gonna say the same thing, lay the tablet down!
