I thought it would be good to have a thread regarding discussing how we each individually learn, what helped us out the most and what exercises we regret spending time on the most.
What are the most important fundamentals to learn, in your opinion, and what do you find most helpful when it comes to study? I think having a discussion about this can help save time or help anons who are struggling to progress on a certain aspect of their art.

>telling you my secrets on learning
There is a reason why all the pros cop out and say "just draw" to artist hopefuls.

All you need to know is Loomis, and Loomis. If you still can't into moe faces that means you're not getting enough Loomis and you need more Loomis.
Smug animu faces are patrician and requires Loomis.

I know shit about the best ways to learn/practice.
But why do so many people draw hundreds of pages of circloid shapes, lines and other "fundamentals" and post them asking how is their progress on figure drawing. This looks so stupid to me.
Go draw what you like and learn to draw nice things and not ugly circles and squares.

It's meme, but I did loomis, drew through figured drawing for all its worth once, went back and revisted some chapters. Same with head and hands. Read some of creative illustration. I found it all useful and learned a bunch. There's real info in there.

Because drawabox and beginners in their eternal circlejerk of regurgitating shit they just learned. The number of literal retards and autismals we get here is astounding and useless fuckers constantly looking for someone to spoonfeed their particular brand of suck to and feed their own ego only makes it worse.

Where do you think we are?

Personally, I found studying anatomy to be far simpler if you break it down. It seems like common sense, but you really need to just focus on one part of the body and hammer it into your brain, and then move on to the next. For example, learn to draw a femur. Spend a week on developing an understanding of the form of the femur. Draw it first from "life" (photos) and then from imagination, criticizing your drawings from imagination after every session. This is a definite way to improve at drawing certain body parts from imagination, and it doesn't take too long, either.

Needs more Loomis

i'm moving back to live with parents so i can focus on studying by myself.
right now i'm pretty much have no skills except doodling animu stuff.
was thinking to follow this schedule for beginning:
warm up - free handing from imagination
keys of drawing (i can't draw from reference and life for shit)
perspective
peter han exercises
anyone who's more experienced can tell me if it's a good plan?
