A more direct way to learn art, you've heard about it?
a year ago
I've been self taught all my life, it shows, really, I improve very slowly and I don't make very interesting, impressive or hot things (I've phased out of drawing porn lately because I think I suck at it).
So this is just me asking if you've heard or done anything specific to improve, you know, courses... Tutors (Are there even any like, furry artist tutors or shit like that lol)... "I drew a box for 100 years and I'm god" kinda stuff?
Idk, I'm completely out of self made ideas to improve, and I haven't tried much truth be told, never learned how to learn, that's the guy I am.
So help me, please?

I'll watch through their library, thank you for your answer.
I just look at lots and lots of art. Whenever a piece interests me, which is usually daily, I study everything about it to see what I like. Maybe I like the smooth lines here, or the scratchy lines there. Maybe the rim or bounce lighting is very eye catching. Only takes a minute. Then I think about how I would replicate that without copying it entirely. I'm nowhere near an expert though. But occasionally googling various tutorials on things you want to learn more about (color theory, anatomy, etc) and looking at lots of references can help. Not saying you need those, just saying my process. Even just staring at stuff in real life and how the light hits it, the textures and shapes, etc.
And finally, don't be hard on your art. That's the number one thing that will hold you back. You're better than the majority of people in the world who've never picked up a pen, and you're also better than probably most artists in the world who are doing chicken scratch. Your art is recognizable, aesthetically pleasing and competent.
I think the Rengar x Khazix one is my favorite, the color's brushstrokes are really appealing, and the lines are good, as well as the composition.
Being vague about your goals probably doesn't help. You say your art isn't interesting, impressive or hot. I disagree, but what specifically about it makes you feel that way? What in particular do you want to improve? Improvement means a million things. You need to narrow it down and focus on things one at a time. My last picture was me fiddling around with lighting mostly, and taking a break from complex anatomy. While an upcoming pic is me trying to master muscles.
But saying you haven't tried much sounds like it could be the roadblock. Trying is what leads to results. Find something that motivates you to draw more often. Could be passion, horny, petty jealousy... all of those work for me in varying degrees.
I'll try to study more, thank you.
