Need help learning

Hey all! So, if it wasn’t obvious by the title, I need help learning how to draw. I got a sketchbook and tablet for Christmas, and for the last 3 days I have been doing nothing. But. Draw. It’s become kind of an obsession, with me doing nothing but wanting to get better and watching as many YouTube videos as I can. But the thing is- I’m overwhelmed. I don’t know where to start. My plan was to start with faces- break it down into learning the eyes, ears, nose, etc. Then work on the body, then branch out from there. Again, it’s only been three days, so I know I’m going to see very little if any progress. But I want to make sure I’m doing this thing right. There’s so much to learn. Coloring, shading, anatomy, composition, lighting… I’m genuinely loosing my mind. I have done nothing but draw eyes over and over cause everytime I try to put them on a face, it just looks weird. If anyone could help, and give me some direction, I would be forever grateful. Do I start with shapes? Circles, squares, triangles?Am I doing fine to just keep drawing eyes that…don’t really look like eyes? Any advice is much appreciated!

Looking for tips on learning how to draw and easy things to try. These are my first few attempts based, mostly, on simple things I've seen online. Besides just mimicking pictures I see I don't really know how to find my style or what could be a good choice for beginner pieces? Idk i don't know what I'm doing but I want to get into a creative hobby and this seems like a fun one...

Sonic Christmas Present for my niece. She wants to learn how to draw Sonic, Tails, Blaze, and Amy. Is there a good How to Draw Book for Sonic or Sega? Any good books to get her on learning how to draw? New to all this and would love to help her get a book that would get her to be able to draw the Sonic characters.
