Olá, você está tentando aprender sozinho ou está seguindo tutoriais/recursos?
I was trying to learn how to make a face, which I use tutorials to learn because I can't afford those expensive courses.I'm trying to learn on my own I just want to learn the basics so I can write my books, covers, and make my mangas that I'm going to publish.

If you like to draw manga style, you should buy the book "Draw like a Mangaka" by Marcel Khun, a great manga artist and youtuber, the book is quite good and one of the first topics is how to draw the human face, you should give it a go if you can afford it.
 
Youtube has more than enough resource to learn. If you'd like a good read the classics can be found for free in Archive.org. I have never spent a cent on this hobby aside from my Tablet (Which is the cheapest available.)
 
O YouTube tem recursos mais do que suficientes para aprender. Se você quiser uma boa leitura, os clássicos podem ser encontrados gratuitamente no Archive.org. Nunca gastei um centavo com esse hobby, além do meu tablet (que é o mais barato disponível).
ObrigadoThanks for the tips, I just want to do my drawings because one day in the future I want to publish my manga, the story of which is about my original character that I have in my head, which is Lod.That she studies at a magical academy, she meets several friends And I also got a tablet that will arrive in a few months
 
Lápis e papel o tempo todo. Tente copiar desenhos de coisas que você gosta e compare, repita até se sentir confiante com seus traços. Tente se divertir, desenhe o que quiser. O progresso é lento, mas recompensador.
AhAh, now that I understand, I'm going to learn the way I want, I'm going to draw my way and not care about other people's criticism.
 
When I draw I focus on whatever I want should look like in the way I want. It helps me a lot because:

- Things doesn't have to look realistically. Young me made a mistake of trying to copy real life as it is. However studying how objects looks like is fundamental but they don't have to be 100% identical, they just should look okay and "cool".

- You don't have to draw realistically or "the way I loved" way, it gotta be satisfactory.

I won't say "practice a lot so you'll eventually be good" because practicing blindly will lead you nowhere, you need to determine your weakness to set goal for what will strenght you.

Perhaps it's a personal tip but when you have no idea how to draw you will think a lot how to do. It was one of my mistake. Art is not done by thinking!!! You gotta let your emotions move your hand!!!!

In the end without really wanting to draw whatever you want art cannot be forced, when you force it your work will be shit. You need mood and clear head for it as tons of my works are "randomly done when I was in the mood". For example:

In the end I don't decide for a "style", I just for for what I'm in the mood for. That's why despite I can limit myself to any style almost all my artworks has their own style because I do believe style depends on theme of the artwork. For example drawing this in manga style was its own proper way to "exist" and this couldn't exist if I had painted in realistically, I didn't have such a mood despite I can paint photorealistic artworks but it was not the point for it. And photorealism doesn't matter if it doesn't look appealing anyway for me.

As for learning Japanese I actually wrote a tip so check this shit out yo lol:

 
Well guys I'm going to take care of myself I need courage Several things
Don't forget being brave is not about not fearing, being brave is about having enough courage to still move on despite you shit in your pants due to extreme fear. ::winkfelix

If fears pins you down it always help to scream for hours as if you will activate your Super Saiyan 3 mode ayy lmao:


If screaming doesn't help remind yourself that failing in life is a scary outcome so whatever hardship you will have to endure for success always matters and nothing compared to really screwing up. Think and know you wouldn't wanna dissappoint your future self. ::winkfelix Don't let your present self curse at your past sense!!! Think 4 dimensional!!!
