I just like to learn something new and improve myself whenever I can, and learning from my favourites could be a boost if I don't overdone it.

I'm in my 30s, so I'm probably out of the field for the eastern artists, but I don't plan to get the bread out of drawings anyway.

Just because I aced History of Arts during University, I know that the practice is quite demanding compared to theory, but I do not mind improving myself in my spare time and for my self improvement.

Well, I like fantasy artstyle with warm colours like Asada, Inomata and HACCHAN (also good at doing iconic and simple designs), as well the gritty and realistic styles of Kakizaki and Miura, especially the latter on how he used to compose the scenes.

In regard of the other influences, I've grown with video games and I like to play them, that's why I added them, moreso if there are plenty of official and fanartists nailing the characters' models without straying too much.

I know there's plenty to study, but I'm used to do so as I wrote before.

Speaking of study, I tried Drawabox but it felt too slow for my taste, so I wonder if that channel you linked me could be a good middle ground for training my lines more efficently.

Just to be honest, if you already know how to draw a stable line that is where all progress is going to stop.

These are all my figure drawing I made in a week. I can't tell if my line is stable enough or not.

draw each shape of the body the same way an architect would, you'll need to learn 3d shapes

So I should takle the basic figure's classes in the site for that or I have to study resources like Drawabox or the likes?

chase all the wild geese you want

Actually, one of the reasone why I started to take on drawing was not only to shape my thoughts better, but also being part of what my favourite artists are.
I hope this influence map of mine does not look too much.

There's a lot to study, but studying is part of my life and I'm not gonna shy away from ordeals.

Hello.

I've started figure drawing 1 week ago and I wonder if I have to switch up with the other things such as expresisons, hands & feet, animals, simple forms and backgrounds. Except I can't find any tips on those, just the human figure from the starting tutorial.

I'm new to drawing, but I want to learn the basic skills in order to better deal with other fields.

How can I proceed?
