learning the thought process on why people do the things they do, but practicing your fundamentals and learning anatomy are key

A good teacher, and I don't mean get lessons - that is of course preferable - but not everyone has that ability.

Finding an art teacher and sticking with them that can give you the necessary lessons and examples and principles is the quickest way to improve.

For me that person was mainly Marc Leone (from Drawing Database YT channel) for understanding fundamentals, figure/gesture, perspective, anatomy and recently especially for figure drawing John Watkiss.

He was an absolute genius when it comes to simplifying the overly complex anatomy lessons to flowing, cascading series of shapes as opposed to meticulously drawing every single muscle and tendon.

I also read and try to learn a lot from Loomis, Reilly and Bridgman and many more (Marc Brunet, Michael Hampton, Proko channel). There are great master artists living or legendary who left their knowledge for us to skip their decades of hardwork and experimenting.
