The best art instruction I ever found was when I took a portraiture class and an anatomy class through the local art shop, though I don't think anything can replace just doing it all the time. Much like fishing and software development, there's a million schools of thought on how to do it the right way. If you can find one of them that jives with you, it can be great, but you can spend a decade searching for a perfect method and never find it.

One of my favorite artists, Stanislav Krawczyk (instagram.com/standarkart), has cerebral palsy and creates fantastic portraits. It's not because he can make a perfect line, but he knows where to put the lines he can make.
