Not really familiar with doing Shodo digitally except perhaps with an iPad app called Zen Brush.

This is super helpful I don’t know Japanese but I really want to learn it read it and write in Japanese thank tou

My suggestion, start with japanesepod101's hiragana and katakana video on youtube, then move on to wanikani once you're done learning that.

[@ril3y.m]

@@DVFHAFYT thank you for the suggestion. I know both katakana and hirigana alphabets now. But thank you for the suggestion.
