the main reason japanese guys are "beter" than americans or european at art have 2 reason
1. we are exposed to more stylized art from the beggining. is very uncomon to see american cartoons on tv in japan, so basically you consume anime from childhood, the same with mangas, they are cheap and there is always one for you to like. there are even mangas focused on learning to cook food so you get the idea.
2. is the way of learning, you draw no appealing man nude to "learn", we directly focus on appeal lines trying to draw cute girls. i saw a meme of "be able to draw this (a old man) to be able to draw this (a cute anime girl) and thats so wrong, you will stuck with the idea of "i need to draw realistic to be good" and when you draw a girl, you will focus more in "what is anatomy wrong" instead of "what will make this more appeal".
when we want draw a girl, we do it in anime style. go to twitter and the most sucefull jap artists just draw anime girls from games or shows because they dont have creative talent, they just copy some character and draw them again and again.
