Just a thread to post resources in, some guides, tips, tricks, etc.
I've got some stuff to recommend, but before that, let me share some wisdom that has personally helped me, so it may help you as well.
>Just draw works.
But many take it the wrong way. The thing about just draw is that it is true, to be good at drawing you need to draw a lot, however in order to actually improve, you shouldn't just do it mindlessly. Art is "work smart AND hard". Art is mimicking reality. And this is what you should be doing. You will never improve if you don't practice by drawing from reference first. But it also isn't just copying. To truly replicate life, you need to understand how it works.
Let's say, you decide to grind drawing hands. You WILL have a better time doing that if you know how the bone and muscle structure works, instead of just taking it at surface level. If you can imagine the hand moving itself in your head, if you understand what pulls the fingers, the limitations of joints.

Now, there are several types of resources. The thing I disliked about /ic/ is the constant shit flinging about which book/course author is a hack or not. Just choose what works best for you.

Books.
For now I'll just put the annas links here. If there are issues with that archive, please notify me.
Personal recs:
>Burne Hogarth - Dynamic Anatomy
https://annas-archive.org/md5/ca5d9d721780d0550b7a7dbac1028e11
>Burne Hogarth - Dynamic Figure Drawing
https://annas-archive.org/md5/8f7fbfcaaea29b5921aecd11ebe12929
>Burne Hogarth - Drawing Dynamic Hands
https://annas-archive.org/md5/43c2abf0eb5c6d2fc4b8557878a7e8f7
Burne Hogarth's art in these books puts a lot of emphasis on the muscles. I recommend trying to copy the drawings from the book to try and figure out how it all works.
>Johannes Itten - The Art of Color
https://annas-archive.org/md5/ba343a1af315d13031cdea4edf7d8479
This book may be a slog to get through, as it is pretty objective about the subject. But that objectivity is what makes it worth giving it a read.
>James Gurney - Color and Light
https://annas-archive.org/md5/11951355f36d2e868dbcfef7c2aad2a3
This one describes a lot of specific situations concerning light, how it affects color, shadows and the picture in general.
>Michael Hampton - Figure Drawing
https://annas-archive.org/md5/8993727fb63b9349ca089098adec9281

Also attached some book charts.

i use gimp but i hate it in comparison to sai despite it being much more powerful

sai does have a pretty good blending engine, maybe one of the best ones despite being so lightweight
but out of the free programs, krita is probably the best one so far. the trick is using the program you're most comfortable with, the good drawings will come out of your skill

tsmt i used krita before moving to sai, one tip i can offer is get used to the weird way you change brush sizes in krita as quickly as possible

should i stop trying to draw with a mouse and use the drawing tablet and pen that i have brought, since i have the introduction to drawing with the right brain. there is probally a reason i only make something once a month. since im left handed i have to be utterly inspired to ack the right brain the right hand that guides the mouse. (since le right hand is the left brain and the left hand is the right brain. or however i saw it when i was skimming through promtehous rising) so it would be benefical to use my dominant hand to draw instead via pen
