Guys, how long will it take to learn sketching? and where to start? Im into sketching like scenery and abstract things. Im not into portraits at all, I mean I wanna draw portraits but like Picasso style.

I know I sound stupid cause I know nothing of drawing but I wanna learn how draw abstract things and sketch and learn how to pick the right colors for the right part of the drawing you know?

I feel like every video teaches you how to draw portraits but thats not what I wanna learn at all (again maybe thats how you start drawing and Im stupid to get that cause I still dont know nothing of this world haha) but I feel like portraits are hard cause we have to focus on precised things and learn how to depict feelings but thats still not what I want haha, I just wanna learn how to draw random things like buildings or fruits or scenery but not faces you know? so where do I need to start?

I think you're going to want to ask this question over on /r/learnart or /r/artistlounge. This subreddit is reserved for those working through the lessons on drawabox.com, as explained here. Drawabox is a course that focuses on teaching the core fundamentals of drawing, specifically confident markmaking and strong spatial reasoning skills - though based on your interest being in the abstract, it's hard to say how well those would apply. Asking in the communities I recommended however will at least get you a more varied set of responses, whereas the focus of this community is fairly narrow and specific.
