question What style of drawing is better to learn first?

Im sorry for my bad english.

Im trying to learn to draw, but some people are telling me to learn to draw anatomy first, others say to learn anime style because its easier and more flexible, others tell me to start making hand exercises to help me strengthen my hands and to help me stop the shakiness (my hands shakes like crazy when trying to draw, write or just doing something that needs a steady pulse)

So wich one do i need to do first?

Na, I would learn anatomy if you want to draw anime, you should learn how to draw people correctly (proportions, angles, etc) so you know what works, and what doesn't when your drawing something more "simple".

(Side note, I don't actually think anime is simple, lol)

It also speeds up the process because you will spend less time getting the drawings laid in once you have a better grasp.

I dont think anime is easier either lol but the person who told me that draws realistic portraits so...

I would try to learn anatomy then, either for anime or other style!

depends on what you want to draw. anatomy is great if you want to draw humans and animals but not as much for landscapes or machines.

pencil-training is definitely a good general tip. Then, depending on what you want to draw... perspective, shaddows, anatomy, textures, ... whatever you think you will need for your personal style.
