blud bought the same tablet as me
Zaryan, here's a few tips about this tablet. Wacom products are quality, so they will keep working for a decade+ if you take proper care for them. Because of the material, they catch dust very quickly, which can be bad for the tablet, so cover the top with something. I put a book on top of it, you can use a cloth or a napkin. Because you apply pressure when you use the pen, over time there will be scratches on the tablet, but don't worry it doesnt affect anything it just looks ugly. But still, try to apply reasonable pressure when using it, dont press too hard. Now the most important thing; you see that metal ring that came with the package, do NOT lose that thing, keep it somewhere safe. The pen nib wears over time, it will get smaller. After a while it will get very difficult to draw if the pen nib wears off too much, and it will damage the tablet too. That metal ring is the only tool you have to get that pen nib off. You clamp on the nib with it and pull it off. Then you need to replace it with another nib, some extra nibs should have came with the package. It takes about 1-2 years for a nib to wear off. If you don't take it off in time, the pen nib will become so tiny that you will not be able to clamp on it and pull it off, so be careful.
In the drawing, I see that you didn't fully use the tablet's benefits. Use a software that can detect the pressure of the pen, so when you press hard, its a bold line, when you press lightly, it's a thin line. You can customize these things, there are settings to set how thin or bold a line can get. 
Something I noticed in your drawing, is that you seem to have used slow, timid strokes while drawing this. It makes the lines look wobbly. This is not as much a drawing tablet tip but an art tip, don't make tiny lines like this, use longer, confident lines. Don't use your wrist while making lines, use the elbow, or even your whole arm sometimes. good thing about digital art is that you can always ctrl+z and try again over and over. Good art programs even have "stabilization" settings, which automatically correct your lines so they don't look wobbly. The programs I recommend are painttool SAI (its an old but classic program that is lightweight only 20MB but it just works wonderfully), or Clip Studio which has everything you will ever need. You can torrent these very easily. Another thing is to keep your tablet drivers updated, it should do it automatically or you can find updates at Wacom's website. Is there any way to contact you? I would love to help a Zaryan who is starting out with digital art. if you have questions about digital art you can contact me at soyzellig@proton.me
