Hello /ic/. I'm the poor soul that spawned these creations:

>>6366483
>>6366977
>>6367075

My main goal is to get good at figure drawing (specifically stuff like people, animals, etc). It seems I'm getting mixed signals from here though. One side says I need to learn the absolute bear bones basic shit (like when I attempted to do and failed miserably to do earlier today) But then I see other artists here who only focus on big yard. One in particular is either /int/ or master tier in regularly gets commissions. ( >>6364360 &
>>6346789 ). What should I be focusing on first? I have no fucking clue where I should start or how to get better in a timely manner. I don't want to waste my time on stuff If it's not going to help me get better at my specific goal
