something i don't see emphasised enough is copying other artists in order to learn and see where you're going wrong in your own work / studies. I see a lot of emphasis on master painting studies, but barely ever in regards to line drawing, character design, stylisation etc.

my personal observation of an extremely fast way to improve is:

1- copy art that you like
2- attempt to create drawings of similar qualities to what you were copying
3- look at the difference between the 2 sessions, as well as the reference, and analyse what gaps in your knowledge keep you from matching the quality of the reference
4- study to bridge those gaps
5-repeat until got gud

why is this method not thrown around more?
