Hi Orhia,
Being a beginner (noob sounds so rude in my opinion) myself I can only give you this advice:
Everyone was once a beginner, if people make rude remarks or sorts because you are still not at their level they are not worth to befriend.
Places like DA are also a lot more focused on a niche. Meaning that you need to either do furry or some fan based pieces before most accept you there as part of the community. ( no offence to people on DA, I have an account there myself but tend not to post there )
It is one of the reasons that I like it here at CD, no matter what level someone is everyone is willing to help and critique in the positive way.
As for friends, participate a lot in the shoutbox, in discussions, the hang-out.
Also don't forget your sketchbook, post one here and try and comment in other people's sketchbook.
And soon you'll meet new people here and have fun while getting better ^^
Hope this helps :)
