Of course, now that I've been reading and practicing for 10 months, I can learn from looking and replicating this image, but that's because once you know how the process is supposed to go, it can help you with the small steps to copy things. For example the shadow to define cheekbones on the left or how the upper lip of the right guy works but that's something that only matters once you understand the underlying construction.

But now I can whip out my pen and draw this from imagination and its way faster than any previous drawing I've done, after 10 months of focused drawing. Mind you I only grinded for 5 days or so at the beginning, all of my drawings were for fun but I was posting on /beg/ for corrections and reading theory and watching videos.
