this ais a hotter take of mine but it makes me mad.
beginner artists shouldn't be making tutorials for things they fundamentally don't understand. i get it, making a tutorial is an easy way to get views and likes, and its probably quicker and easier than actually doing your drawing studies, but i don't really think that people going out of their way to watch a tutorial on say, how to draw heads, should be getting advice from people who don't know how to draw heads outside of a specific artstyle or with liberties taken.
no, im not saying you shouldn't or can't draw without doing your anatomy studies, draw whatever makes you happy, don't mislead other beginner artists is what i truly mean. its a case of the blind leading the blind here. my art as a beginner artist didn't improve at all thanks to those tutorials and i hate to say it, but im guilty of posting tuts for things i didn't fully comprehend too, i now know how damaging it can be.
no artist, especially beginner artist, wants to be told that drawing 100 cubes and 100 spheres and 200 figure studies will actually help them, it's disheartening and crushes the fun for some people. incorrect anatomy and proportions can be stylized away for any casual, but if you really want to get into the professional side of things from scratch, i think it should be okay to look at the level of art someone who is posting tutorials is working at and decide if following their advice will make you a better artist of keep you at their level.
