Find some pictures of illustrators and characters, animation is also ok, characters are the focus and are urgently needed. The picture can't be sent. I'll send you some names. You can Baidu yourself: Li Yao LZ sends his picture), Yi Chuimei, Xiao Bai, Ya Ya (I don't know if there is black and white).

Interested in illustration, if you want to be confused from scratch, you must find the right direction. First of all, you must understand what illustration is. There are many examples now, and gamers are one of them. There are also freelance illustrators (who are generally famous and have the capital to do it), drawing illustrations, posters, covers and so on. Software is just a means, and hand-drawing is king. You should use a pencil honestly first (people who draw illustrations and cartoons should be equipped with automatic lead cores). Traditional painting and illustration are bound to be related, but there are also differences. For example, the proportion of characters in illustrations and cartoons can be exaggerated. Therefore, if you are a person with strong self-control, then self-study is no problem, and it may take a little longer. You can't learn anything for quick success, and you can't look at "money" from the beginning.

If you are a person with poor self-control, then I think it is necessary to find a training institution, but this is the choice of training institutions, so you must be careful, otherwise you will waste money, and the most terrible thing is to waste your life. Personally, don't choose any weekend classes. If you really have a strong desire to develop in this industry, you should make a firm decision to leave.

All the above are very pertinent personal opinions, and I hope they can help you. My situation is similar to yours. I quit my job before, and now I am studying illustration full-time. Because I like this thing, so, brother, I have to grasp my own direction. Sometimes youth is really capital.

Finally, I recommend several famous illustrators in China: Chen Wei, Huang Guangjian, Ahua, Xiao Bai, Huang Dehong and Lin Ran.

Remember that software is just a tool. If you stay indoors for a month (conservatively speaking), you can start painting, provided that hand-drawing is king.
