I'm not sure where to start and what to draw. I really like manga art style. I want to feel some sort of progression and having a learning curve.

Maybe shapes, heads, objects. Trying with shadows or perspective etc? I'm being quite random with it and would like some structure and a line up of references to look up.

It's all drawn with a reference fyi and randomly picked or for dailyprompt/study here so far.

Or should I straight up try to draw Manga?

You can take some time to learn each fundamental, like form, perspective, gesture. The goal isn't to master them but just to get a basic understanding to work with.

#

If you like manga art then draw manga but try and incorporate other things into the stuff you draw

#

Generally realism would be the most straightforward to study and improve. Not saying you need to draw realism all the time but it can help for your practice so you can stylise better afterwards

#

Also good job following along with reference images. A lot of beginners would just jump to drawing from imagination but using references is much faster to help you improve.

If u want smt more concrete to follow along with u can try drawabox.com
