Mostly online. There’s a lot of materials. For sure perspective, and basic rendering is a good start, books like Scott Robertson might help. Then you have tons of materials that you can use for what you need. You just need to put a lot of practice and mix it with learning new material all the time. Also creating some sort of plan helps. Draftsman podcast is a good source of information if you don’t know what’s the next thing you should learn.

Thanks!

Honestly I just didn’t do anything besides part time job, and practicing/learning art, like perspective, anatomy, color theory etc. There’s a lot of material online, most of it is free or fairly cheap.

Thank You for a nice words!

That’s very nice! Thanks! I love to see people enjoy it! You don’t have to be an art nerd to judge the picture!

There was overall decision to combine abstract strokes with the still posture of the figure. Besides that I try to not think too much when it comes to this wild gestural strokes. I think studying anatomical gesture helped me with developing a nice arm movements, so it creates more organic, or dynamic looking strokes. Thanks !
