Lighting: knowing where to place your light source and what shadows and highlights it will cast (which comes with studying the human form and what shapes make it up), knowing when to use warm and cool shadows.

Color theory: knowing what colors work well together and being able to create an aesthetically pleasing palette.

Anatomy and posing, probably experience with gesture drawing to ensure the characters don't look stiff or out of proportion.

You could honestly probably get by on just the default brushes and adjusting their sizes/opacities for now.

An airbrush or watercolor brush for the soft shading, whichever you are more comfortable using.

Colored lineart (notice that none of the lines in your inspiration piece are pure black).

Thin lineart (set your minimum brush size very small or even to 0%).
