This thread is an extension of >>>/b/1239/
A dedicated thread for sharing resources on how to draw. This could include digitally scanned books, YouTube videos, art blogs, reference images, drawing software, etc. The material does not necessarily have to be in English, but translations are always appreciated.

I highly recommend using https://www.pureref.com/ for working with references.
Personally, I copy and paste any digitally scanned books I download into PureRef as well and browse through them while drawing. I believe many professionals in the industry use it as well as I found out about it through a 3D modeling course.

For a good starting point go to the 'how to' tag on ex/e-hentai: https://e-hentai.org/tag/other:how+to and you can use something like https://github.com/KurtBestor/Hitomi-Downloader to download the full gallery.

As promised, I've attached some useful notes on perspective. (These are lower res versions than I was previously trying to upload, but they still seem legible.)
I also highly recommend How To Draw and How To Render by Scott Robertson, available here:
https://archive.org/details/how-to-draw-drawing-and-sketching-objects-and-environments-from-your-imagination
https://archive.org/details/Scott_Robertson_How_to_Render
These books go into technical detail on how perspective and light work, so you can draw with great accuracy using this knowledge. Applying the techniques rigorously does take a long time, but even if you don't intend to do that, it's still helpful to understand these principles.
