Why isn't there a simple step by step process on what to study to get good? Why hasn't anyone invented that yet? Why do none of the tutorials make sense?

There is no step-by-step process for how to get good at anything. Getting good at something is partially the experience you build up by trying to do it and failing, and also learning how to think for yourself instead of trying to find an authority figure to cling on to.

Not rules, just tools. The world is a sandbox of infinite possibilites.

train your eye >> observing, drawing, copying from life and other artists
train your hand >> ensuring your copies are accurate and have right proportions
train your brain >> learn fundies and theory and practice them

if any one of these three lags behind your process won't be optimal, either your eye will not be able to detect what your hand did wrong or your brain won't know why you drew what you drew etc etc...these all must be trained at the same time.

If everyone learned the same then we would all be millionaires

Well it's everybody telling you what works for themselves which may not work for you.

There is. It's pinned to the top of the board at all times, you should give it a read.

So google the resources. What are you, a helpless infant?

There is one. I'm trying to develop it.

>Memorize fractions as decimals
>Practice straight lines and specific curves
>Draw freehand specific angles, construct them from calculating their sine and cosine
>Understand the different kinds of perspective as FOV projections from inside a sphere
>Follow the rules of each kind of perspective
>Learn to rotate in perspective from an axis
I am currently here.
>Get an intuition for the position of vanishing points as you draw
>Learn adult human anatomy, regional proportions and normal ranges (Not shitty "artistic canons", Real anthropometry, completely unexplored area)
>Learn perceptual points of references in face, hands and feet
>Learn human anatomy for key ages, male and female: 15 years, 11 years, 6 years, 3 years, 1 year, 3 months, 1 month, term newborn, preterm newborn.
>learn anatomy for each order of mammals
>learn anatomy for a few orders of birds
>learn anatomy for a few order of non-bird reptiles
>learn anatomy for frogs and salamanders
>learn anatomy for fish and sharks
>learn anatomy for mollusks and a few orders of insects
>Reconstruct dinosaurs from the fossil register
