Depends on what you're looking for. If it's learning to draw in a certain style, it's really just practicnig the fundies and doing a lot of sketching, and then just taking things from artists that you like by copying their work.

Like, on thing I did for a long time in my sketchbook, is I downloaded both Yoh Yoshinari's and KJG's sketch collections on my phone/tablet, and when I was out or whatever, I'd spend an hour or two just copying drawings in their sketchbooks, practicing difficult angles, and just drawing as fluidly as I could.

Stuff like that really helped me.

No idea, according to google that's the average weight in Japan for a 17 girl though. I just copied the stats from there.

I normally ignore people who say "far from good," statements like those usually stem from either jealousy or ignorance. It's a thinly veiled attempt to shit on someone masked as "advice."|

If I were to rank myself, I'd say I'm "good enough to be professional," and I'd say that's a fair observation considering I do draw manga professionally for money already. So it's qualified by my clients, who are willing to pay well into the 1000s for my work, so...

That said, professional tier is quite a broad spectrum, especially in manga, where you've got very simplstic cartoony stuff, or even series with bad art (won't name names), versus absolute gods like Murata, Inoue, Oh! Great, and Boichi. Likewise, drawing skill is just one aspect of manga, visual storytelling is actually the most important element of making manga. Moreso than art.

Btw, the example you posted here >>4081819
is Boichi, >>4081852
