>Manga is something I adore but, I think before I can do actual good manga, I have to go full retard into painting and realism... Then, knowing everything well, I can bend and simplify rules to my whims.
Bad idea anon. Best way to get good at making manga is to make manga. Learning how to render will only teach you things you should be learning while making manga anyway, and you don't get the benefit of also learning all the other shit involved in storytelling. Just draw what you want to draw, observe from life and observe the art you want to draw like and challenge yourself in the process and you'll naturally improve.
Also read the fucking sticky.
