>>53302618Honestly, start with simple shapes. Triangles, Squares, Circles. Shade those boxes (chiaroscuro is a grand place to learn), then move to more simple things. Stick figures, but add those shapes. Heads are ovals, legs are squares, etc. Then slowly start rounding those down. Also make sure to study anatomy, trust me, it goes a long way. And buy one of those little wooden posable figurines and try drawing it. You need to know this type of stuff even if you just wanna draw Pokemon, trust me.
