my brother wants to learn how to draw and it seems like he has unrealistic expectations and i am not sure what to give him for resources. he couldn't even do a blind contour drawing of his hand before i explained how to look at his hand and he's already talking about anatomy and color theory and whatnot. the only idea i have currently is drawing on the right side of the brain and have him read through that and watch some vilpuu figure stuff where he uses a chamois. he's a complete and total beginner so i don't know even know what to give him. i am letting him borrow a sketchpad and a graphite pencil set, a charcoal pencil set, a chamois, some erasers, etc. i have supplies i can let him use but i don't know what to give him to actually learn how to use any of it.

i guess that OP was a bit vague, so i will explain that what i am looking for specifically for resources are which books i can either pirate for him digitally or he can find at the library, or good youtube instructors he can watch that start from square one

Loomis it's a staple for artists, and can be easily pirated. I skipped it due to the memes and am now reading it. I think it's going to help pull me out of /beg/

Point him to artbook thread, get him a fuckoff huge stack of paper and tell him he's shit until he goes through it.

Tell him he's shit until he goes through the paper that is. Just teach him how to fish for the resources.

when i said he's starting at square one i mean square one. what i've instructed him to do so far is to sit down for an hour every night with a stack of paper and just blind draw his hand from different angles until he gets bored of that and then blind draw some objects after that and do that for a week or so. he really is at square one he has little to no established hand eye coordination for how to draw lines
