It takes time. :[

I've been drawing all my life and I still can't get everything totally right, or at least somewhat perfect.

The best advice I can give you is to look at figures of people, and different artists and try to imitate it.

Don't trace, but look at the figure, look back and draw it.

I mean I drew DBZ characters and anime stuff until like 7th grade, and I decided I wanted to break out of it and go more comic style and it took a while to break out of, but I think I'm better for it.

So don't be afraid to kinda lose yourself for a bit if it helps you improve.

Plus you don't really have much choice early on, you're not going to be able to draw in your own style, it's hard to make something that is totally original and fresh, so just draw how you draw and eventually it'll mold itself.

Here is an example.
Here is what I used to draw like.

Extremely anime. Huge spikey hair, weird outfit, lack of shading, line quality, etc.

And here is how I draw now.



See? Totally different.

So don't be afraid to break in and out of habits, it'll help you immensely looking at other people's artwork.

Thanks for the advice. I'm able to draw DBZ as well but only by looking back and forth of an image, can't really do it from scratch. With your second drawing, I wouldn't even be able to do that, but I'll try my best to follow your advice

yea just look for things that you like; or art that you like, and just practice drawing the figures of people, things, objects;ect. http://www.visualdesigncore.com/media/image/148/

make sure to always take a second to stand back and anyalze between what you have drawn, and what the actual image is like. take things such as deph, shade, size proportions; ect into mind. if something you have drawn seems off, then just stare at the actual image and find out what you need to fix. From there your memory will start to build off different images that you have drawin in the past, thus allowing you to create your own images easier.
