Thank you, I have his course in my bookmarks now. I don't draw often but I'd like to especially get better at drawing people. When I show my drawn people to others, people say it looks like them, but I'm also well aware that it's not close to being realistic.
I really only use pens, and use color pencils for color, but I've been considering looking into watercolors so my colors aren't so grainy. Any advice there would be truly appreciated. Just got sober and I want a hobby I can focus on.

photo on left is a long sketch, photo on right is a short sketch. how long do you think it'd take to attain the skill of better realistically drawing people?
