/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

i've been doodling random characters n stuff without ever studying anything art-related for my entire life and haven't improved since i was 8, unsurprisingly. been wanting to change that since forever.

how would i go if i'd want to do less realistic body types, like in pic related? is there really no way at all in which i can get decent without studying atanomy? i never managed to get into learning or researching art stuff because life hasn't given me much freetime for like 5 years now, but the entire general learning process just sounds so daunting and tiresome to me. its a stupid questions thread so pls dont bully
