The only way you can learn to draw something is by just fucking doing it. You're bad at drawing clean lines? Well draw all kinds of lines until you train your wrist and arm to be loose and steady.
Drawing is the same as any other activity. Whether you're trying to get good at freethrows, practicing scales on your sax, trying to squat 315 lbs, or learning to prepare meals and cook. It's all a matter of just doing it over and over again until you train your brain and body.

All of these "how do I draw?" threads are really fucking stupid

just fucking draw jesus christ

why are you trying to find some secret that'll accelerate your learning? it's a journey and most of it is fucking up and realizing the right way to do it and you're wasting time making threads like these instead of doing the hard work you know you need to do (but aren't)

I wanna know what a good method of going about is

kinda like how some people go to the gym and just say "im gonna excersize" and do little to nothing, while others say " i will do 5x3 benchpresses and then squat 5x3" and get soem decent progress.

People do dips to get better pecs. Others want a nice back, so they do pull-ups.

It's the same fucking thing with drawing.

Find out what you REALLY want to draw. Then git gud at it. IT'S THAT FUCKING SIMPLE. Want to draw faces? Then study the face. Break it down into smaller steps.
What are the parts of the face? Eyes, nose, mouth. etc. Learn and UNDERSTAND each of those until you can do all of them. That simple.

If you've been drawing for 4 years and honestly never improved, I'm sorry to say you weren't drawing at all. You were jotting down random-ass lines on paper.

If you're just drawing you're just passing time.
If you want to learn human proportions then start drawing some proportional cartoon characters at least. Like from dragon ball z, or yuyu hakusho or something kind of simplistic but still with real human proportions.
Try to start out by doing simplified cartoon people instead of the realistic Loomis heads and bodies. Copy it exactly, or trace it if you have to.
The most important relationships to look at are where are the pecs compared to the head, and shoulders. How low are the elbows in relation to the torso/navel. How low do the hands reach between the hips and knee. Look at the humerus/ulna+radius length ratio. And femur/tibia+fibula ratio.
When I first started I learned by copying DBZ and other shit like that. Then I started learning actual fundamentals of how to make a head and measuring the body and different muscle groups, etc..
