instead of going out and buying books, you can turn on the tv. if you're wondering where you're going to get your time, you should know it takes time to learn how to draw.
when i was little, i loved cartoons. watching a particular show that you like repeatedly will give you the opportunity to imitate that style. when you're watching, watch a character or two, and notice any little detail about their figure. "So that's the curve of their arm, this is what their eye looks like." After a while, you might be able to draw the character from memory. From there, you can make small variations to draw different people.
The most important thing is to experiment. Don't be afraid to draw something in a different way. Sit down and draw a line, any little squiggle. What does it look like to you? The curve of a goose's neck, the silhouette of a car, a hill? Then draw the fundamentals of what you see. If you can make a basic shape, then you've succeeded. It takes a little time to develop the details to make it look like a 3-D picture.
Another thing is to observe. Like I said, when you watch a cartoon, or when you're walking down the street, or you're sitting at a table, zoning out, make mental notes of the details of a person or object. Recall them whenever you sit down to draw. If you need help drawing action, imagine your own body. Get up and do it if you have to. I find drawing plain stick figures helpful.
The final thing is to practice. Drawing really well is not easy, so don't get discouraged early. Remember, it's art. Picasso drew lopsided faces with pretty colors and is now famous.

if your looking right at something, try seeing the object as a bunch of smaller abstract shapes (and values) that collectively make up the whole. this is how you can acheive realism easily. pay attention to negative space in order to keep it "on the page". this is what books are always calling "seeing" it. when you draw something from your mind, without any reference, you don't "see" anything-you have a concept that you are wanting to achieve and you use your acquired knowledge to "put it together" i.e. anatomy, perspective. if you look at cartoons and comics you'll see what I'm talking about. of course, you can combine the two. what I'm getting at is drawing your self portrait and drawing a superheroe use 2 different approaches to drawing that have the same basic characteristics and at the same time are radically different. when you set down to practice, be sure its structured. don't have the attitude where you say "gee, I have the day off, so I'm gonna draw ALL DAY!"-you won't be able too think of a single thing to work. put a little forthought into what it is you want to do before you sit down to do it. you'll get good fast that way.

I'd recommend a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." It's readily available at bookstores and through Amazon.

School.
And when they tell you to draw something? That you don't really want to do because it's really not interesting? DO IT.
Kids who think they only have to draw one kind of thing are not the ones who get work. Diversify, and hit your deadlines.
Being an artist means that you do not get to have much of a social life. Woot.

i started by placing tracing paper over pics and trying to copy it exactly. then as i got more into it, i started to draw on my own. and then i decided why do i have to draw like this person? so i started to invent my own characters little by little and some were kewl, most were trash, but hey i tried and found what i did best, but the tracing started me to learn how to make it

Practice!
An artist once told me that everyone has 5,000 bad drawings in them. Once you get past those, you'll improve.
So start drawing and sheow me what you have...in 2015

Talent, interest, observation and patience. You should always draw real stuff instead of a photograph.
