Here's what I cobbled together (from someone who was in a similar situation):

the first month:
>grind shapes and forms
>do step by step tutorials aimed at kids
>avoid chickenscratch, do continuous line drawing

the next few months:
>start drawing cuboid and spherical forms from life: furniture, toys, glassware, etc
>start copying comics, film shots, music album art, movie posters, etc
>pick one artist and copy EVERYTHING from them, then start copying other artists

the General Process:
>do blind contours and gesture studies using live references or photographs
>draw the subject from memory
>collect references from multiple angles and break them down into shapes and forms
>observe the references, then hide them and draw from memory, then draw while looking at them

Other advice:
>pick up a ball sport, start biking/swimming, or get into origami or cooking (you need something to boost 3D visualization)
>get into Warhammer so you learn how to paint
>buy some Legos and put them together
>get into building miniatures or model kits
>start playing puzzle video games and sandbox building games (Portal, Minecraft)
>get into photography

If you want to get quick results, you need to draw consistently for either four hours every day OR two hours every other day. Your first few months should be spent taking things easy and slow since you need to have your brain build a visual library and mental-emotional stamina needed for drawing.

THEN you need to increase the amount of time spent drawing. Professionals do it for six hours a day at minimum.

If you want to get into making comics: read lots of comics and regular books.

Try animating: start small with something easy, like a ball. Make YTPs and AMVs.

Don't feel too upset over being 27 and just now getting into art. There are plenty of artists your age who have spent their entire lives drawing and suck at it because they either rested on their laurels, got lazy, or never got proper training.

If you're going the self-taught route, have no fear: it's the route many artists take should they have the right work ethic. You should only really pay for tutoring or programs if you have the spare money/time for it.

Learning how to draw (and paint) is something you can learn in a few years if you fully commit yourself to it. But it takes a lifetime to master the craft.

>draw consistently for either four hours every day OR two hours every other day
is this the other way around? or why would 2h every other day be as good as 4h daily?

>>7951665
But why? What do you want to do with your drawing exactly? Explain that first.

You're never too old to start drawing
You're always too old to be a furry

Anyway in my opinion the best beginner tip is to not get mad at your drawings, you're going t be frustrated, calm down, finish the drawing even if it sucks, don't lose too much time trying to make it perfect, it's gonna suck, the next drawing will be a little less worse

And before some fucker here posts outlier examples of some CWC tier autist drawing for years and not improving, yes of course you need to pay attention and have the awareness of what you're drawing, not just vomit drawings without consciousness like an autist would do

In other words just fucking draw
