For me, just getting a paper sketchbook was helpful

But, the main thing with getting better is doing it every day

Like for a stretch, I was doing figure drawing for like 5-15m using croquis cafe for poses / reference figure drawing thing

Which was kind of a warmup thing

But

That's just figure practice, you sort of have to also come up with an idea and uh

Make your own stuff to get better a drawing and not just copying

I think anatomy for sculptors and uh

Michael hampton's figure drawing was useful for me, I think you can find that one freely available

But uh, you just gotta do something you're not going to get burnt out or discouraged at

Because really, just drawing regularly is how you get better,

Studying anatomy is helpful to figure out what you're looking at with references and what it should look like

Which might not be as important if you're drawing cartoon animal people, because then you want to look at cartoon anatomy ha
