How can I learn to draw like this? Meaning, resources, books, etc. Not figurative drawing but also not illustration style. Somewhere in between.

the most obvious thing to my mind would be to do master studies and copies. but you could also read conventional figure drawing books which talk about generic proportions so that you can then break said proportions.

Thanks that makes sense. I just didn’t know if it would be harmful to study more conventional texts like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.

It's cartooning, anon. Literally scribbly fingers and shit, doodling. I would guess the artist isn't particularly studied in anatomy and perspective and such. It's more about drawing shapes, and what "feels" right.
How to draw like that? Again, more a way of thinking, a creative confidence. Hard to say how you "train" in it. Best thing you can do is collect a lot of art like that and try very hard to notice the common features of it, and practice drawing creatively with lots of different media. Notice how the crayon lines feel texturally different from the thin pencil lines for example. Texture is always a big part of the scribbly, abstract, childlike effect art like this is going for.

while I won't outright tell you not to ever go through DRSB, I would recommend going elsewhere if you do in fact want to go through a conventional figure drawing book. obviously there's Loomis and Hampton, but I think Steve Huston's book is quite good.

This is figure drawing. Those are figures. Get colored pencils and draw people. The better you get the more you can simplify
