To be fair, I linked him that on /art/ and then told him to check out here as well.

Anyway, this is the first video in the "basics of drawing" playlist, but it's a good starting point.

There's a fuckton of other tutorials as well, but drawing always comes back to basic forms and fundamentals so it's a good place to start.

One thing I'd suggest is to not focus on copying things and memeing when you get serious, yeah it can be fun but all you're learning is how to trace shit doing that.

That being said, don't let what I'm saying dissuade you. That's a really accurate recreation of the happy merchant picture, and you've got something that a lot of beginners struggle to learn:

Clean lines.

From the way they're formed I can tell you're probably wrist drawing (stop that, use your shoulder) since they're made up of smaller scratched lines, but the entire thing isn't littered with stray marks or erased lines.

Start with the "Drawing Basics" playlist this video is in and go from there. I can't recommend Proko enough and I seriously implore you to look towards his videos for guidance as starting off points. A lot of "tutorials" I've found online are just some guy really good at art rambling about how he does it personally for upwards of 50 minutes at a time. Proko, on the other hand, keeps the lessons concise, information dense, and above all else clear. He doesn't have extra rambling, flubbed lines, dead air, it's just the information presented in ways anybody can understand and short enough that you'll retain it all.

Although I did draw the facial expression better than you, you drew the proportions better.
