>Also how the fuck do you get so good at quick sketches?
Thousands of drawings and hundreds if not thousands and thousands of hours of studies and mindful practice.
>For how many years will I have to do my reps if I start now?
Depends on how fast you learn, how you absorb the information, how much time you put into it. There are people who do amazing shit after learning for 2 years and others are stuck in DeviantArt hell for over a decade.
Ina has been drawing for over 10 years, but I'm sure it wasn't daily. Most likely took long breaks or just didn't bother improving for years at a time, would then draw a lot and fall out of it again.

Then learn, practice, improve.
Drawfags always tend to come out of the woodwork during Ina's illustration streams so even if you don't want to ask them for advice you can always do your reps with them.

Read the /ic/ sticky. It's honestly really good, just don't read any of the other threads.
Really focus o nthe basics, especially if yo uwant to draw good lewds. For that you need an absolute understanding of shapes, how to twist them, deform them, make them squish. Start out with stuff like
"DrawABox"
"Ctrl+Paint"
It's super boring drawing shapes, but it's the one very important thing you simply shouldn't skip unless you want to gimp yourself for a decade. You can't go wrong with either of them because they just teach the very core fundamentals. The whole meme of Deviantart "artists" drawing the same horrible drawing for years? They didn't do any fundamentals. Don't be like them.

Look into MangaMaterials youtube and pixiv for anime resources or buy the fanbox and get all of her studies and references. It's thousands of images of the human body in various angles.

If you absolute have to begin with drawing animus from day one, follow

follow the videos in the series, turn on subtitles, do the assignments. You will have a hard time if you can draw all shapes on paper(or canvas) in any angle tho.

>why are they all chinese
They're good at this shit.

Ina will do videos, so hang in there, but in the mean time there's tons of resources online.

All it takes it practice. Everyone starts out bad.
Get drawing! You can't improve without mistakes!

Figure drawing and practicing forever is the fastest way to improve.
Pic related is incredibly specific and helpful, though it seems daunting at first.

I'll get there someday.
