Unfinished doodle of a Black Templar I made on the back of a note card about a month ago. Drawing again reminded me of my weaknesses. I apply too much force on my pencil, making erasing much more difficult to erase, due to the graphite smearing. Furthermore, I am definitely a perfectionist, and will start with something like a helmet and spend an enormous amount of time getting it looking as perfect as possible, before doing anything else. That, and I only ever draw things wearing helmets. I don't think I've ever drawn anything without a helmet.

Most of my doodles start with random shapes and then I try to make something of them. Helps if I view it as a game instead of a serious drawing.

I like to do graff handstyles for warming up, personally.Practicing drawing lightly and fluidly can also improve your skill by a great deal. Most novice artists apply too much pressure (as Napalm stated) and tend to draw with their wrists. Lightening the pressure and using the motion of your entire arm makes it much easier to draw fluidly.
