    I think before diving into drawing from imagination, it’s essential to build a strong foundation in drawing fundamentals. Look for courses or resources that focus on topics such as line, shape, form, value, perspective, and proportions. These core skills will provide you with the necessary tools to create realistic drawings. There are numerous online platforms that offer art courses and tutorials. Websites like Udemy, Skillshare, and Coursera have a wide range of art classes taught by experienced artists. Look for courses that align with your specific goals, such as drawing from imagination or realistic rendering. Moreover, look for instructional books on drawing techniques, figure drawing, anatomy, and developing a visual library. Some popular recommendations include “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” by Betty Edwards and “Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth” by Andrew Loomis.

    When it comes to learning to draw, both using real objects and reference pictures can be effective methods. Using real objects can provide you with a three-dimensional understanding of the object’s form, texture, and lighting. Regarding 3D modeling, it can be a useful tool for artists to use when learning to draw. 3D models can provide a realistic representation of an object, allowing artists to study its form and lighting from various angles. It can also be helpful for creating more complex compositions, as artists can manipulate the 3D model to create their desired composition. 3D models can be a helpful tool, but they don’t provide the same level of understanding and experience as drawing from real-life objects. Therefore, I think it’s best to use both methods in combination to improve your drawing skills.

    Tracing can be a helpful tool to aid in the learning process, but it shouldn’t be a replacement for observation and practice. It’s important to also practice drawing from observation, as this will help you develop your ability to see and understand the structure and proportions of objects. I think tracing can help you develop your muscle memory and hand-eye coordination, which can be beneficial for your overall drawing skills. However, relying solely on tracing may limit your ability to see and understand the structure of objects in a more comprehensive way. Therefore, it’s important to balance tracing with other methods of learning and practice, such as observing and drawing from life.
