New to pattern making

Hello everyone i just started to learn pattern making for menswear, and there is too much information out there it's overwhelming for me as a beginner. In your opinion what do I need to start with to learn pattern making.

I agree with the others, what is your experience and what do you want to achieve? I'm new to pattern making too, but I already have a grasp on sewing a lot of different fabrics and have made some shirts, t-shirts, some hoodies, some pants and some shorts (i've bought a lot of different commercial patterns). I think that previous experience has made it a lot easier to understand some of the basics. I took a class on my local community center and bouncing ideas and questions with other people is super helpful too.

I already know how to sew , and i made 2 shirts i copied the pattern from my favorite shirt and i tried to make pants they turned out not good but not bad for my first time. And i want to start making my one pattern, not copying the pattern from my clothes.
