I'm looking to get back into drawing and painting. It's been several years since I've focused seriously on either one of them and I've never really had any "formal" training, save for a couple of high school classes. But I did a drawing last year and it reminded me how much I love doing it.
I think I'm decent but I'd really like to refine my techniques. I have a lot of work to do in both mediums but much more so in painting. I love painting with oils but I don't have a good foundation of control with a brush or the paint or colors.
I was wondering if there are any artists out there or people who just do it as a hobby that have any recommendations as far as some good foundational YT videos, books, anything really, go. I've looked around and can't really find anything that seems very helpful.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Edit: A few drawings I've done. First is the one I did last year. The others are close to 10 years old.
