You need to stop drawing anime. This isn’t something you have a choice in. If you are truly serious about your artistic improvement, you need to stop drawing anime. You can go back to it later once you’ve learned the basics, but until you have a firm grasp of anatomy, value/light, perspective, color theory, composition, etc. you are not ready to stylize in any capacity. Being an artist is fucking hard, and you cannot cut corners just because you don’t want to spend time learning the boring things. Very few people want to actually draw photorealism, but you have to know how. Simplifying forms, in a way, is much, much harder than drawing things as they are.
