OP, if you're tired of drawing potatos, try drawing your Jojos with the methods taught by Loomis, you'll realize there's a lot more to it than you think.

It's not about what you're drawing, but the tools(not rules) of the trade that you're learning. Fun with a Pencil is a beginners book, but if you dont understand the basics Loomis teaches with it, and then move on to a more advanced course like Figure Drawing for All it's worth, you wont understand what the shit's going on because suddenly he brings complicated Perspective and anatomy into the game, along with all that he taught in Fun with a Pencil.

If you try to jump around and skim through 200 different artbooks you're not going to learn anything, and in the end they all teach the same thing. The basics of art were established hundreds of years ago during the Renaissance, everything after is basically an interpretation of it. If you want to read Vilppu go ahead, but in the end you'll go back to Loomis and see its the same shit.

So keep doing those boring potato heads, still lifes, and gesture drawings and try to make them the best shit you ever drew. Because those are going to be elements in the next step to drawing space marines and dragons.
