Hi jack.🙏

I have a question Ive always been interested in drawing animals, but i have no skills. I love this tutorial, but as a beginner drawer are there things I should learn before I get into this kind of level of drawing? If so, what should I learn? What kind of prior knowledge should I have before attempting to draw animals like this?

This channel is a gold mine and I strongly advise you to look into his playlists! In short it's more of a naturalist approach to drawing than a purely artistic one. For example, to correctly draw a lion, he will explain where its muscles stand instead of giving theoretical drawing lessons,. With this approach you can draw every mammal for yourself. John has also written two incredible guides available: the Laws guide to bird drawing and the Laws guide to nature journaling, which explain absolutely everything about nature drawing

Not sure what this other comment about "theoretical drawing lesson" means, but I personally have tried out New Master's Academy for both their "intro to drawing" courses and their "How to Draw Animals" course. It covers anatomy from the start and uses gesture drawing to quickly draw animals from observation or imagination. Similar approach in this awesome tutorial here. Very helpful!
