Drawing & Illustration

If I don't know how to draw and can't find a good teacher, how do I become "self-taught" and teach myself? Is it all just a time-consuming trial and error method? I have read many books on "how to draw", but they are too general and don't give a good system.

I recently recieved some Prismacolor Water Soluble Pencils for sketching and drawing, but I don't fully understand how to use them. They say full range of wet and dry techniques but what does all of this mean? Can't I just use the pencil like a pencil !?

I have a package of Frisket Film (gloss finish) but it does not say What are the proper techniques for using it? From what I can remember there are different types of Frisket film; matte, translucent and gloss. I would like to use it for tracing. Is that possible with gloss Frisket? If so what's the procedure and if not what else can an artist use it for aside from turning it into a protective cover for unfinished work?
Thanks so much for your help.

I always end up drawing eyes, like human eyes, or cats eyes, they are pretty realistic looking but I can't help but wonder why is it that it is EYES all the time when I don't know what else to doodle? I know it's a dumb question and I am not even sure what catogory to go under but do any of you think there is an underlying meaning to it?I mean to me drawing eyes!??

I have an artwork that's patriotic, I just finished it up and a friend of mine suggested that it would make a great postal stamp. But I can't find any sites where you could send a submission like that to the government... anyone know where I could start asking questions to see if my art might be good enough for a postal stamp?

I've never been able to draw anything well. My parents are really good artists, and I've taken art classes, bought drawing books, and even tried to pick up other peoples styles (didn't work at all). Does anyone know why my drawings turn out crappy?
