Tutorials on "how to draw" are stupid 'cause magic doesn't exist and reading a tutorial won't make you better. Tutorials are cool when they are about composing a comic, how to keep the tempo, how to organize stuff in the frames, or technical tutorials about how to shade, how to keep proportions or how to use skeletons and wireframes to pose your characters.
