I'm no artist, but the colouring of the hair looks amazing. If she's only doing colouring tutorials like the text hints at (can't be sure, since it's covered) then what's the harm? The colouring seems good. Sure the actual drawing is a little oddly proportioned, but that could just be her style?

Like I said, I could not draw something like that to save my life.

Don't want to be Judgey Mc judge since the pic is tiny, but... No.
The color didn't look so amazing to me. Actually, it seems a basic shading, everyone can do that kind of coloring after a little practice...

So, uh, agreeing with the op. But I have to say that "know your place" is kinda harsh. But a little more humility for some people can be good.

Also is that a bone-structure I see thar? because if it is, it's probably just a show-off. I mean, C'mon, you can't implying you had done anatomy studies and draw in that way. That poor girl.

This pic just sing "wrong wrong wrong wrooong" to me

I don't know the artist, but just from looking at it I expect the hair is just dodge and burn in Photoshop. This is the tool of the lazy artist: easy to make alright-looking results in a short time, but won't get a nice hand-painted look. seriously if you have photoshop, lay down a colour, grab the burn tool, put down some dark areas with it, get the dodge tool and put lighter highlights to one side of each dark area. done.

The left side of the secret shows a hand drawing tutorial that culminates in a finished drawing with seriously turrible structure.

Technique can be learned step by step, via tutorials or instruction. But the best advice when it comes to learning anatomy is OBSERVE.

Yeah, the tutorial is shrunk down, but it's easy to see the myriad mistakes this person is encouraging :/

I don't care if people lacking talent and skill draw for fun, but they absolutely should not post tutorials which encourage this level of ineptitude.

Well YMMV of course. I'm experienced at drawing myself and find OP's example rather humble; with the anime types it's often easy to tell they're only imitating patterns rather than having actual knowledge. I believe people should take tips from true professionals if they seriously think about improving their skills.
