How long will it take to be able to draw basic figures?

My end goal is to be able to draw cartoon characters (not that I don’t want to be able to do realism too).

I understand that it’s necessary to know some basic anatomy. Gotta know the rules to break them.

I’m just wondering how long, as an estimate, would it take to be able to draw basic figures? Like an accurate form, with accurate fingers, feet, etc.?
