In terms of practice, as Malt mentions drawabox is great because it comes with structured lessons geared to beginners. At the same time, learn theory as much as you can as it'll fall into place as your skills improve. I think at first, learn theory around perspective and value, they'll help immensely later on once your fundamental skills are consistent and you want to branch out. Don't feel like you need to get it all right straight away, as a beginner it's almost impossible to consider line weight, perspective, form, proportion, angles, composition, energy, value etc just while trying to draw good lines! The Proko fundamentals course is great if you're looking into drawing people. If working digitally the CTRL-Paint course is also fantastic with a heap of free videos: https://www.ctrlpaint.com/library/ If you're looking to become an artist without an official degree/course, the following 'solo artist course' is useful for giving yourself some targeted practice and building blocks. Again, don't expect to draw like an expert first go, but come back to these lessons at times to see your improvement: https://www.reddit.com/user/RadioRunner/comments/lgllqy/new_version_of_radiorunners_curriculum_for_the/ It's a long, frustrating, fun journey, enjoy :)

Hello David, If you’re completely new to drawing I’d suggest starting with DrawABox and a couple of books first before jumping into Proko’s stuff. DrawABox is free and the first couple of lessons are good for drawing fundamentals and simple shapes as well as thinking about drawing in 3D space. It’s available at drawabox.com. The book I started learning drawing with was Betty Edwards’s Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. If you don’t have any experience drawing the book has some great stuff to get you started. It introduces you to blind contour drawing exercise and drawing reference images upside-down to get past your symbol system and look at drawings as a collection of separate elements. I’d also recommend Andrew Loomis’ Fun with a Pencil. It also helps ease you into constructive drawing and building things from simple shapes. All of Loomis’ books are good but that one is made for easing beginners into drawing. If you’re just looking for a Proko course recommendation I’d recommend Mitch Leeuwe’s How to Draw Animal Characters. It covers the basics of construction drawing for animals and anthropomorphic characters. Think cartoon rabbits, raccoons, squirrels, and characters with more human form and posture. Best of luck!
