Anyone have guides similar to pic related? I'm looking for something to shake me up hopefully and maybe get me a new breakthrough. My weak points are gesture and imagination drawing.

paint instead of drawing, you’ll be attacking most of the same problems from a different angle

Start a comic. It'll teach you everything.

If you're not interested in writing just find an existing fairy tail or story and draw.

Work on a long term project.

Yeah, paint a very long comic

I'm about where you're at, just replace Vilppu with Loomis. I think of that as just getting started. Now I'm ready to proceed to:
>More Loomis (Drawing the Head and Hands)
>Framed Perspective 1 & 2
>Jack Hamm's Drawing the Head and Figure (he breaks down parts of the body)
>Robertson's How to Draw
>Bridgman and Hampton
This is all tentative, I may add or switch around depending on my progress/development.
Your course depends on your goals. That's why I think these dogmatic 1-2-3 charts are bullshit.
Mine is to produce a well-drawn comic. I realize finishing those books will take years (I do all the studies and copy many of the images), so will probably start my project when reaching some level of efficiency, and continue the learning process throughout my life.
