what type of art are you looking to learn?
thats completely irrelevant
its all based on fundamentals
stark geode
kinda
cartoony style wouldnt need learning to draw cubes
linework yes
i asked so that i could give more specific advice
lament kelp
cartoony style wouldnt need learning to draw cubes
uuuh yes it does
if you look at actual good cartoons theyre believable
theyre based on reality
just stylised
lol
every single good cartoon artist knows fundamentals
goes for all manga artists aswell
they have insane fundamentals

ok buddy calm down. drawing something like this would still require fundamentals but not every artsyle has the same ones. for cartoony styles i think copying characters and studying clean lines would be best. and if you had read instead of being argumentative straight up, you would see i didnt say you dont need fundamentals, just different ones.

different ones? the fundamentals are the fundamentals
anatomy, perspective, form, shape language so on
its the same
itll improve your art no matter the artstyle

It’s important to learn the fundamentals regardless of what style someone may be going for. The way theyre applied is approached differently but they all are the same fundamentals. Its important to realize this to both of you

But there are one fundamentals, there is no such thing as different fundamentals. People can't create their own things (especiallyfundamental), we're based on realism, and if not the drawings are usually wrong

Oh yes that's true

Learning to draw fundamentals like cubes is still important, even for cartoonists. The human body can still be broken up into squares in order to help visualize the 3d shapes and forms. But what you want to draw does make what you should focus on to study differ. For now, some general advice is to look at what other people have drawn and break it down into shapes. Think about how the artist have drawn it, and even trace over it. As long as you don't post traced art, tracing is a very valuable tool to learn. I've traced a lot of poses from different artists to break them down and learn how to draw them and how the human body is put together. And remember not to get too frustrated if your art is not as good as you want it to be. Art is a skill that takes so long to learn and will never be perfect. All of the amazing artists you see took so long to get to where they are, and you're just starting out. It's impossible to get good at art overnight, so don't get discouraged and keep at it.

Yeah. Im very much wanting to do a stylized version of people, and the principles are still the same. Aspects are just exaggerated from what they are. Still need to learn in order to exaggerate

a good place to start (Depending on what your sticking with) is, if your gonna work on humans, work with the basic details, like hair, eyes, and body (Legs or torso). Then, as you get into the feel, start works on toes/feet, arms/hands/fingers, and shading, it will help.

Oh thing i remembered that is always important no matter where in your art journey you are, is to draw to have fun. Have drawings where you are trying to learn, then have drawings that youre doing just to have fun

No, you can't "copy" this kind of stuff, this is style is the result of an stylization, to you they might look like random line placed, but it is not, it's literally the most basic form of figure drawing, it's just cylinders perspective and other figures, you can't skip fundamentals, they are most of the time, the only way to improve significantly.
