Uncomfortable's Advice from /r/ArtFundamentals

Is watching step by step art tutorials on YouTube a good way to learn how to draw? (apart from Drawabox)

Ive been spending the second half of my drawing time using tutorial YouTube videos where they show you step by step how to draw something. Is this a good way to use my time if I want to get better at drawing? My goal is to have decent drawing skills so I can start painting.

I feel like Im not really learning to draw, just to copy what someone is showing me, if I were to try to draw something on my own I would be lost.

That question is probably better suited to /r/learnart or /r/learntodraw. In order to give students submitting homework or questions relating to the course as much attention as possible, we do have to keep the subreddit limited only to those.
