(title).Honestly,for the past 2 years I've been completely blown apart by some beautiful stories made by mangakas which made me want to try drawing.Just pen drawing.No colors,no paint,just pen.The main problem is idk how to start.Ive always see drawing as a relaxing hobby but I never tried to improve.Just as the title says,how and where do I start?(I've recently started using mechanic pencils which make a difference and I also have very good like memory vision if I should call it that.Like I can remember the face of someone I've only seen once and somehow print it on a piece of paper in my mind)

If you're looking for recommendations for what to do to start learning how to draw, I would definitely recommend asking on the subreddits recommended in AutoModerator's initial reply to your post.

That said, I will point out that Drawabox.com - the free course this subreddit is focused on - is intended to provide a structured way to learn the core fundamentals of drawing. It won't teach you anything, but it's intended to provide a basis or a starting point.

You can learn more about what the course covers, and what its goals are in this video, and decide whether it's right for you. That said, I do still recommend asking your question on those other communities (specifically /r/learnart or /r/artistlounge) as they will provide you with a range of options, whereas here we just focus on one.
