As a beginner. You will not get TC quick unless you buy TC. Which you can do with a credit/debit card or through paypal from other players and what not. (paypal is used a lot on here).
Don't expect to get good either at the beginning. thatll take practice as well. Learn what each joint does and use it in combos. its like dominos.
Making Art, eh, its what quite a bit of people do on here, including me. But it isn't for everyone. Making art shouldn't just be for TC. it should be because you enjoy it too.
TL ; DR (Too long didn't read)
Take your time. You wont get TC quick as a beginner. Just keep playing.
