>>4197159Like you said, it doesnt make sense to "grind" when you dont have any idea about drawing in general. My most honest advice for you is to first and foremost try drawing whatever you want. Whatever, find some pictures and try drawing something similar. Intuition is everything. Find artists you like, that's a must. You can try to copy the way they draw specific stuff, you can analyze how they paint or what colors they use and try to do it like them. Have a very chill and creative approach. You have to enjoy it. If you like anime, draw anime. If you like horses, draw horses, whatever.
Dont drop your passion/inspirations for the sake of studying and grinding all day. open the books from time to time, maybe study one body part, or one concept, then close it and continue drawing from imagination, try to use the knowledge you gained. I repeat: the worst thing you can do is stop drawing your personal stuff and and grind 24/7.
If you want resources to look into that I can personally 100% recommend, here they are:
dynamic sketching videos by peter han (like drawabox but better, good for starting out as a total beginner),
"figure drawing for artists" by steve huston,
"perspective made easy",
"figure drawing design and invention" by hampton,
"force" by matessi
look through these, if anything looks interesting try it in your sketchbook but dont attempt to get through everything in one sitting. behave like you already have the skills you need somewhere inside your brain, you just have to unlock and polish them with practice - its like a toddler that wants to walk but doesnt know how, but knows the general concept and tries whatever feels right. trust your intuition.
