Description Due to the love you guys seem to have for recent my fan art [Tribute to the serpents  ],  I decided to stay up for the swansong episode and draw this. It's currently 5:16 in the morning.

You did a great job capturing that scifi bookcover feel from the 60s-80s!

Your art is just unbelievable gorgeous Found yourself a new follower. 
For how long have you been drawing already? Do you do this as a profession? Have you studied, or something similiar? Are there special tutorials or books i could get my hands into to learn to draw like you?

Thats quite the question, I have been painting for a bit, I don't actually keep track. I used to be graphics designer. As for learning to draw.... Im  gonna vomit words at you, the key is to practice, be self critical, take critique,
try to understand form and light, learn to draw the form of what you see - not just copy what you see, draw from life, take pictures of cool stuff you find.
Create folders on your computer dedicated to visiual stimulation. DONT USE Photoshop to practice use an IRL tool, study composition look at great art from the golden age artist's. I am probably not remembering everything.

as for books there's a few basic ones on the market, look for "How to draw" books, Andrew Loomis is great for anatomy, the The practice & science of drawing by Harold Speed... 

Join a proper art forum, the main reason I got where I am skillwise was I joined conceptart.org, back when it was the shit, it still has tons of tutorials, although you should consider joining the smaller places like crimsondaggers.com/forum or www.permanoobs.org/index.php

Theres a ton of great yt channels to look up namely: FZD www.youtube.com/user/FZDSCHOOL… ;, Proko www.youtube.com/user/ProkoTVwww.youtube.com/user/sinixdesi… .

as for schools I wont recommend any to you, because Im near totally self taught, you're better of asking  someone  else, try one of the forums I mentioned.

Hope that helps
