As someone starting from basically square 1, what would be the best class/curriculum structured way to tackle the art/mediums I wish to improve in?
Traditional/digital drawing and traditional/digital painting for character design, portraits, landscapes, etc

My main goal is to be able to do comics, both traditionally and digitally. And as someone who is basically at square one, what would be the best structured "path" sotospeak to tackle all of these things?

Either this or:
>do lesson 1 and 2 from drawabox.com
>watch thoroughly the courses by Vilppu in the resource video thread
>download Loomis books
>check either Angel Ganex or Marco Bucci to learn how to paint digitally AFTER you have learned how to draw
>open instagram, deviantart or whatever else

Will any random set of drawing pencils be fine? Also should I invest in a mechanical/heavier pencil?

When you're beginning you only need a pen. Beginners always think about the tools when they can't even draw a single character.
Akira Toriyama somtimes made his mangas with markers because he was too broke to afford anything else, he won contests with that (the One shot: Pola and Roid)

>comics as a goal

Just follow any advice you get from anons above, and pick one comic book and practice all the angles on it. I advice copying from older manga or comic book from year 2000 or earlier as the shot composition are still clear for beginners.

Not OP but isn't Loomis an outdated meme at this point? And Vilppus videos are horrible and snoozeworthy.

What's the alternative? Constantly erasing your shit construction lines until it feels right?

Yes he is. I personally swear by this book. It was written by a very prolific yet underrated japanese artist named Unduru Rumisu. One of the best books ever written.

The best approach in my opinion is the "learn as you go" method. You said you wanted to do comics right? Then right a 3-4 page story and draw it out to the best of your ability. You don't have to show it to anyone but do your best. After you're done, look at it with a critical eye and ask yourself what needs improvement. Maybe you're not satisfied with the faces, or figure drawings, composition, perspective, etc. Then pick one and work on it. You'll reach a plateau after a while so jump to another problem area. Maybe you were working on the head and figures before and now you will try perspective. After you've spent some time studying, do another short comic and repeat the process. Also look at whatever work inspires you/ looks like something you want to do and steal whatever you can from it to improve your own art.
