Listen, anyone can get good if they do this:

1: Read Perspective Made Easy and do all the exercises.
2: Read How to Draw by Scott Robertson and do all the exercises and watch the videos.
3: Read Figure Drawing by Andrew Loomis and do all the exercises.
4: Read Drawing the Head and Hands by Loomis and do all the exercises.
5: Read Force by Michael Mattesi.
6: Read How to Render by Scott Robertson and do all the exercises.
7: Read Color and Light by James Gurney and do all the exercises.

There you go, with 4 hours of focused practice a day (don't check your smartphone every 30 seconds) this training will last a whole year or a bit more. Also you need money to buy the books and a cintiq or intuos pro and ellipse templates etc.

After you complete that just do what you want for a while, explore styles, what you like to paint and such. THEN make a list of the things you are not good at and you want to learn and get to it.

How can I draw cool characters and environments from my imagination like pic related?

I've been doing academic live drawing for many years now and rendering isn't much of a problem but I really want to draw nice designs without much reference, but when I try and draw it usually looks like uninspired shit, do I have no imagination?

Anyone else feels like painting is easier than drawing?

There's tons of videos and books explaining how to paint, but not so many about drawing or inking, and I mean drawing like pic related, not classical drawing.

Any youtube channel I should check out? I always get frustrated when I draw, I can't do symbol drawing properly yet.
