thank you! and yes
I used the book Sketching people: Life drawing basics to learn the fundamentals but what really helped me progress was watching painting analysis on the nerd writer YouTube channel. It helped me understand that it's about representation , drawing an object or series of objects that looks like the thing your drawing, not pain stakingly growing the image line by line in the hopes you make a replica. Once I got that it was all a matter of practice
Try ink wash, it’s similar to watercolor in the sense you have to build your darks. I find it easier to work with. A water brush might be helpful if you aren’t too into an ink wash.

I use them for water color but I know a lot of artists that use these for ink washes. You fill the handle with water and go from there.
Hope this helps.
Edit: spacing.
drawing on the right side of the brain. It's a fantastic reference, and I guarantee you can find a cheap copy or borrow it from your library.
This book. It may be in French, it is excellent, with these kinds of pictures. There's not a lot a text so don't worry about that.
Chameleon Markers! They're quite nice, pretty much the same quality as Copics, but are quite a bit cheaper.
