    I am currently working my way through these books and tutorials

    • How to Draw by Scott Robertson
      A very technical approach about linedrawing and perspective drawing. The content goes in the direction of correct concept drawings of sci fi cars and buildings. In addition it pushes your brain to hand coordination and forces you to draw correct.
    • How To Render by Scott Robertson
      This will be the next one, after I´ve finished his first book. Shading rules and color rules.
    • https://www.ctrlpaint.com/library/
      I recommend this website. The author has a lot of free video tutorials about painting digitally in photoshop. I really like his way of teaching and his methods. I always keep my eyes open for different aproaches. For a little extra money you get intense Tutorial packages.
    • The painting sessions of Ty Carter
      When I can spare some money I look into the videos of Ty Carter on gumroad. It is just interesting how he approaches a piece and works his way through. He has a very illustrative style.
    I can definitly recommend you these books and tutorials I´ve worked through:
    • Art Fundamentals by 3D puplishing
      An interesting collection of basics such as Anatomy, color, perspective etc.
    • Aaron Blaise Anatomy Workshop 
      I really like his simplified approach as an animator. He focuses really on the anatomy parts that matter.
    • Aaron Blaise Character Design Workshop
      If you consider to push your character designs for stylised animation you will get handy tipps here
    In addition – what really pushed my understanding of character design: the magazine CDQ (Character Design Quarterly). It has some tutorials and amazing artists in it. It is an interesting ressource
