Thank you! Best way to learn is doing, find something you would really like for yourself and carve it. Collect books on woodcarving, also get books that display works from masters like Tilman Riemenschneider and Grinling Gibbons , they are good for inspiration (get them used if you can, I did)

There are also videos on woodcarving all over youtube, Mary May , Alexander Grabovetskiy , Chris Pye are a few. All three of them are masters and also have online schools, 1 , 2 , 3 .
Other good channels are Stinnet Sticks , Doug Outside , Tallista Esteban Jiminez Escribano (dont understand the language but like watching him. There are many others, just poke around youtube and follow ones you like.

Best advise, don't be a perfectionist, you learn more from mistakes than anything else. Do your best and move on, being a perfectionist will only stress you out.

This next bit is an older comment I made so I hope the links still work, it's more about the tools.

I started with flexcut interchangeable sets. I personally have the 11 pc. and deluxe set . Note that the image on amazon for the deluxe set is wrong, it looks like this. I still use them everyday alongside my more expensive tools and a benefit of the interchangeable blades is you can get an adapter in the future and use it with a powered reciprocating carver. Note also that these sets dont overlap, so if you got both the 11 piece and the deluxe you wont have duplicate chisels. It's a good way to initially round out a wide range of gouges and v tools and then later on you can start buying the more expensive chisels a little at a time. Good brands are Pfeil, Ashley Iles, Two Cherries, Henry Taylor, Auriou, Dastra, Addis (Antique, can find them on Ebay) and there are others that I cant think of atm.

You'll also need a sharpening stone and oil, and a strop. I personally use a soft arkansas stone and the norton oil, I also have a set of soft arkansas slip stones for honing the inside edge of gouges and v tools. And this is the main strop I use. And stropping compound, you can use flexcut gold or some green compound.

There's much more and I could go on forever but hopefully I gave you some direction. :)
