Going insane trying to get good at 3/4

[lapis stream]

I’ve filled two pages full of attempts of 3/4th angles and I’ve still not managed to get it down. A main problem is that I end up making the cheek too fat at the angle and proportions go way off. Please help

From what i'm seeing it looks like you aren't actually turning the head the way you're intending to the eyebrow line for the face and side head are straight across in most of these, this one has the right idea though its still somewhat incorrect to fix this you should start learning perspective mainly 1 point, 2 point and three point perspective if you can draw a correct box building the head inside of the box makes getting this accurate a whole lot easier proportions should also become easier with this

exactly my thought, learning perspective + drawing real life objects while applying the perspective should help a lot!!

I also added some examples for these drawings to help you get an idea of what's wrong (but dont take my drawings as reference entirely, I make mistakes. After you study perspective and real life objects, it should be better if you fist study from real human portraits) 💕

the issue i see is for almost every single drawing youve placed the eyes at the eyebrow line, heads look somewhat ok so if you fix this issue like what iro showed in red itll look better

I’ve been following this tutorial video (part of a playlist) to help me learn the art style. In regards of the 3/4th head, the guy just makes the lines. Would you say that I first learn perspective and angles (so like boxes) first before I do heads?

Usually before you apply artstyles you learn the fundamentals. Without the fundamentals, you can draw those stylized faces with some effort. But it won't usually be as you want it to look, and you will struggle a lot. Learning the fundamentals usually takes some time but it won't fail your efforts! So in general while learning fundementals i recommend this path, but everyone has their own path so you don't have to stick to what I say and do what you think will be better.
-Learn the general perspective rules. Draw some boxes in traditional and use real boxes as reference (you can use some random rectangular/square shaped objects at your home) Then try drawing the box turns
-Draw real-life objects. Find some interesting shaped objects at home and draw them! The transparent objects can be tricky at this stage so its better if you choose easier ones first and gradually increase the difficulty. While doing this, put the object in a stable surface in front of you, like a table. Also add shadows to them. in this stage learn how to apply proper light and shadows as well.
-Draw some shoes and fabric! Drawing shoes are really difficult so dont be sad if you cant draw it as how you want it to look. Just try your best and ask for help here! And drawing fabric is also not easy so take your time with both as well.
-Learn anatomy. So this is a really difficult step because you will have to even remember some of the bones. You can just skip this step if you only want to draw portraits or just drawing as a hobby but if youre serious learning the anatomy is really important. You dont have to memorize every single muscle and bone but some important ones are indicating important things so you need to know them in order to draw better. (Also drawing figures helps with everything. One of the best drawing studies are real life model drawings. Like drawing your parents or anyone, should help a lot.
These are not all of the fundementals maybe, but theyre big steps you can take for sure

And about how much you should study each of these, its up to you honestly. Try to understand as much as you can while studying, and also try not to stick to one step for too long

its a fun process so i hope you wont get overwhelmed and enjoy while studying. Its better if you share your studies somewhere, makes it easier to keep up with it

Alright, so basically just learn the fundamentals and anatomy?

And in regards of this, in what order would you advise me to begin?

[gilded dock]

Yup

[gilded dock]

In the order I wrote, starting with the basic perspective knowledge, then drawing boxes, drawing real life objects and shading them, then shoes and fabric and lastly anatomy and figure drawing

There's not much wrongdoing in any order you choose, just this one is a typical path i think. At least it's how my instructor teaches at class to new students.
