“@StashCashMoney Draw through is a very slow process, but I'll try. In the meantime, check out the "How to Draw" book by Scott Robertson. He's the BEST at this. @scoro5 | Get on youtube, start watching art tutorials, and buy these two books. In under three years you can be a topnotch artist all on your own. And no debt.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis.
“Andrew Loomis presents a constructive, proportion-first method for drawing heads and hands, relying on annotated plates and progressive demonstrations. The book reads visually: many pages show staged drawings you can copy or reverse-engineer at the easel. Its most useful element is straightforward plane construction and repeatable proportion rules that speed up believable sketching. Annoyances include dated terminology, a narrow set of model-types, and repetitive examples that assume those proportional ideals. Plan to pair it with other references for photo-based anatomy.”
