Justin,

My two cents worth are to seek out an instructor whom will teach you ART and not style. Seek the fundamental truths of the art of figurative drawing first.

Second, join one of those groups that offer models and then draw, draw, draw and then draw some more.

We are capable and willing to critique and offer advice but I think that teaching is something that must be done in person.

Enjoy the journey. It is your passion and some day you may get paid to do what you love.
