What are some series, mangaka or japanese artists you personally like if any at all?

I don't think they use very much reference, especially if it's a cartoony style. Maybe they'll use ref for backgrounds, props, and clothing, but I'm almost sure they can draw all their characters from imagination, from any angle

As a /beg/-/int/ who's art is still kind of shit by most standards and is just getting deep into fundies now, I am looking specifically to get good at dynamic poses and foreshortening, as well as being able to draw decent figures in perspective alongside pen & ink detail and a decent visual library for character design and vehicles. I am doing all of this specifically to make comics and personal projects, but I specifically want to know is at least spending 1/2 years on making single illustrations first just to get my art skills at a competent level worth it before getting into comics making fully? I developing an artstyle that lives by a solid understanding of some fundamentals like form, detailing and dynamicism, and if my comics visually fail at depicting those (which I still do even in my own art btw), they would kind of fall apart. Thoughts?
