So I want to get better at drawing people! and I just wanted to know where to start?

1.) Do I start with anatomy? gesture drawings? the head? the body?
2.) What are some good videos to watch about this?
3.) Anyone willing to tutor emojibonk

These are some of my more recent drawings of people if that helps with specifics!

gesture is the most imprortant id say, you should do 15-20 1 minute gestures everyday as a warmup if you can, itll help alot. then id say construction with 3d shapes, breaking the body down to simple shapes like spheres and cylinders. anatomy is one of the last things you should learn as it isnt that important but learning the very basics of anatomy can be done early on if you feel it will enhance your art, things like basic skeletal structures of the head. or maybe a few landmark muscles that are very visable on the surface.
