I love to draw (along with lots of other disciplines in the arts) and have been teaching myself since I was very young.
I have taken lots of art classes and workshops and learned from many different people as well, however. I've been fortunate in the different artists I've been able to work with through my school and people at my local art gallery.
If you want to give yourself a good place to work from, I'd recommend taking some life drawing courses so you get a good handle on the human anatomy, even if you don't like sketching or working in a realistic style.
