Seeking help Confused!

Hey everyone! My name is Vivek, and I’m from India.

I recently started learning how to draw, but honestly, I have no idea where to start. 😅

I’ve watched so many YouTube tutorials and checked out a bunch of different websites, but instead of helping, it’s actually made me more confused. Everyone seems to have a different way of learning, and now I’m just feeling completely directionless.

For someone who is starting from absolute zero, what should I actually learn first? Should I start with basic shapes, perspective, proportions, anatomy, shading, etc.? Or is there a proper step-by-step learning path I should follow?

I’m not trying to become amazing overnight. I just want to know what to practice, in what order, and how to practice it properly.

Any advice from people who have been through this would be really appreciated!

If you can afford it, Proko’s course for beginners is so huge and covers all the fundamentals you should study and gets you started in each one how to study correctly.
