Where do i start with visual arts/cartooning?

cartoonist

New member
I'm sixteen and i've been dubbed as 'gifted' in visual arts since i was little. I've never really taken much of an interest into pursuing visual arts till recently. I know i want to become a cartoonist and I try at it everyday. However, I find myself lacking beneficial knowledge on stuff ranging from colored pencil techniques to proper measurements for creating human characters. Does anybody know any reliable sources i could get information from (books, helpful websites, etc.)? Most websites i have found aren't very helpful and the art classes im taking don't really lay out any helpful information as much as they do overshadow your work.

To give you an idea of what i like drawing, Jamie Hewlett's Gorillaz artwork inspires me the most.
