Realistic art is very different from anime art when it comes to proportions. Anime favors exaggerated and minimized features, as well as sharp or soft corners and edges for emphasis (depending on what message you want to convey), as well as clean lines, while realistic art favors softer corners and often gentler lines. Realistic art is also largely based on proportions compared to the surroundings, whether that is the body or the background (a person vs a tree, or a nose vs the face).

Maybe they mean like semi realism or more realistic shading

Another thing that I would recommend is looking up a picture you'd like to draw (preferably a photo) and draw it freehand, using the photo as a guide for shading.

Yeah what he said, and shidzilla on YouTube has some good anime style tutorials. If you want to go shading for realism promo is a good channel also. They have plenty of amazing vids for shading and comics (American tho). Overall you should learn the basics, basics ,and basics! It sounds overly said but they really don't say it enough. Basics as in anatomy, perspective, gesture, etc. even in my own work I notice if I had better understanding of basic shape or structure the picture would look way better no matter how much detail. Learning basics itself is far from it as a lot of it can be tricky to learn, but once you learn them the style is the easy part as it's all preference. Style is just taking all the traits you love from the media you see and combining it in a way that you like with your own twist. Getting "better" is based on how you prefer art so honestly experimenting is gonna be a big chunk of your journey in drawing. A good thing is you have social media so look at many tutorials and references.
And don't give up as It could take time
