Hey Biku, happy 2024! Long time fan, really enjoy your work.
I wanted to ask if you could recommend any learning materials for drawing, or any resources that you yourself have used during your career? Also, any tips for an amateur artist?
Thanks a bunch!

Thank you! I would check out Marco Bucci, Mark Brunet, Sinix Design and ArtWod on YouTube. Try to sort out videos with some meat on their bones and avoid the usual TikTok-esque vids as they tend to be a bit more vapid.
Honestly I think one of the best snippets of advice I can give is to not grind too hard. Learn to enjoy the process, forgive the mistakes and embrace your quirks. Every artist I know who is laser focused on "getting gud" or their engagement numbers, are fucking miserable. It's just not worth it.
