can buying realistic drawing books make me flawless in drawing manga?
1st of all dear all i have a few inquires:
1.if i buy realistic drawing books from different of kinds such as perspective drawing, figure/anatomy drawing, pencil drawing, illustration drawing
Q1 : where illustration is like the book color and light there is also creative illustration would that make me good in illustrating as good as manga/anime or famous illustrators or should i study illustatrion books specifically for anime/manga art??
Q2: about the realistic drawing i find the art of takeshi obata really nice but found no books to learn that i found a book on amazon but i don't know if it has the art its called sketching from imagination : anime/manga would that be good to learn different style i wanna have different styles in stock to be able to draw?
Q3: about the realistic drawing i was thinking if its possible to draw like really good mangakas such as takehiko inoune his art is really good or the author of vinland saga i really like being able to draw semi realism manga/anime art that would be a exquisite manga art to see for manga fans what do you think on this ?
Q4: where can i find the best resources for learning manga/anime drawing i found anime art academy course as well as mikan school are there better ones than that or are you gonna tell me its better to find my favourite manga and draw like it i feel like that will be a waste of time as it will need lots of time for that?
Thank you for your time and consideration for any reply. i appreciate that.

I think you would enjoy the work of Alphonse Mucha, especially his treatment of fabric, but look at his hands too.
The thing is the world of manga is filled with talented artists, very few of them get to the levels of Takehiko Inoune, most of them are hidden doing the donkey work. If you want to join them then you are going to have to work hard to develop a speedy, effective response to the demands placed on you. Look at the work that is not the flashy, highly finished and beautiful illustration, instead look at the work that makes up the majority of the books, see how shortcuts are used and especially look at the composition of the drawings and page layouts.
Reading is all very well, but nothing beats doing, start sketching as often as you can, people but do not forget the backgrounds, the mundane items that support the story, basically unremarkable but can make or break a narrative. Draw a chair, how can you make that chair threatening or comfortable or dynamic.
