I think I was under the impression that I could just learn to draw in general. When I drew as a kid (which didn't happen that often), I was attracted to manga. The thing is, I find most manga style drawings downright ugly nowadays. However, I do like moe style a lot. It's a subset of the manga style which encompasses overly cute drawings. It looks like it's dripping with cuteness and sweetness.
I also love funny little chibi characters (chibi have weird proportions, but moe usually don't. So chibi isn't moe). I'd like to learn how to draw really, cute, lively little chibi creatures. When I used to (attempt) to draw some chibi, I basically copied Mirumo or Poring/Deviling/Angeling/Santa Poring. The latter are game monsters.
I like the art of Fairy Tail and Detective Conan (I also like the anime/manga). Card Captor Sakura also looks nice, and so do some characters out of Yu-Gi-Oh!
I'd love to be able to draw fantasy creatures (dragons in particular), and some nice landscape to go with it all.
A few years ago, I drew a baby dragon using a tutorial, and it turned out really good. I think this is actually the only drawing I made that I have been satisfied with, but sadly I don't have it anymore.
It might be tucked away somewhere in the basement if it wasn't thrown away.
I'm also quite fond of cartoon style, and I'd like to be able to draw stuff in 3D (in perspective) such as a train station or a street. I'm hopeless with perspective so it's probably not something I'll pursue.
Also, I hate drawing portraits, always have, always will. I would like to learn how to draw *faces*, but I'm mainly interested in getting the proportions down so that I can start drawing something more cartoonish.
Sorry for the rambling. I hope someone can help me and
TL;DR
I like cute manga (chibi/moe)
I want to draw dragons (and fairies, elves, vampires...)
I want to draw cartoonish stuff
Maybe landscape and stylish houses/train stations/buildings/ in a long long time.
