I don't understand how to learn drawing. Nobody is able to explain in concrete terms how to learn drawing. I sit there with a book on drawing people and I don't get what I'm supposed to do.

>just copy the sketches that are in the book
I can do that, and I may even be okay at it, but it doesn't make me better. You can sit there and copy a great book in your own handwriting word-for-word, but that doesn't make you a good author or even improve your writing skills, it just makes you a better copier

>don't just copy what you see, but try to learn the forms and break the shapes down
okay but HOW? I see authors do this shit all the time, like it's some breakthrough discovery that nobody ever thought of. For example they will say something like, "The hand can be broken down into simple shapes, such as boxes and cylinders" and then they throw in a few sketches of a hand. Somehow I am expected to take that information, without any further instructions, and just start producing sketches of hands.

Yes, I understand a hand, or any other piece of anatomy, can be broken down into simpler shapes. So what the fuck am I supposed to DO with that information? I can draw a box. I can draw a cylinder. But I still don't know how the fuck to draw a hand, a head, or an arm in such a way that it looks real. There's a gap of information there that nobody can explain how to bridge. It seems like people just expect you to intuitively understand something deeper about this whole process but it's always been a mystery to me.

Any fellow artists got a (illegal) link to one of the Artstation reference packs? (pic link https://www.artstation.com/marketplace/p/2dD3y/130-female-character-pinup-poses )

Or any place to get good free references in general.

how do you fuck up like this.
i literally don't understand how you have ability/style on the level of the image to the left and you now regularly produce shit that looks like the thing on the right.
how the fuck do you actually get worse if you've been working this long. i don't understand at all.

Thoughts on this website for references? Are these models good? I'm planning on doing 1h everyday using those, want to make sure they don't make me learn wonky muscles, the poses are presets and I'm not sure if they were each carefully created

How many followers do you generally gain per picture? For me it always hovers around 20.
