For some reason, it reminds me of Arthuria Pendragon(Saber) from Fate series

Everything is available online and for free in some form or another.
I agree that everthing is available online and we have a vast resources here. But I think that the problem is, sifting those resources. I think that's what I struggled the most. That's also the reason why I've been drawing on and off since I was in middle school. I think, it's great that right now, there are a lot of really good art resources. Though, my doubts is still there that I can't get that far. Still, I'm going to practice anyway.
I didn't think that 90% art is for that, I thought that there are some information that you can only get in art schools. I have a misconception that knowledge of theory is more important than practice which sometimes makes me frustrated. I agree that you can learn more with practice than just reading theories. Right now, I'm going to practice a lot. Also, Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

Sakura Pigma Microns
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
