Artists, especially with realism, have this method of seeing whatever it is they're trying to draw that allows them to accurately emulate it. Anyone can learn to see things this way, it's just a matter of practicing it.A big mistake beginner artists make is that they tend to draw how they imagine something looks like instead of paying close attention to it and drawing how it actually looks.There's really good book on this called "Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain" by Betty Edwards. Idk it might be possible to find a .pdf of it somewhere. She manages to take some pretty bad artists and help them become rather good over a span of a couple of months (some even in a single month I believe.) just by teaching them how to observe how things look in the real world, remember it, and accurately emulate it with drawing.

The drawing itself isn't realistic, but I don't know whether or not you want to do realistic or stylized artwork. What I'm trying to say is that, whether or not you want to do realism or stylistic work, learning to accurately emulate form will improve your work immensely. It's one of the fundamentals of drawing.
oh, i see. no i was going for stylistic rather than realistic, it's a lot easier. i have some realistic stuff ive done if you wanna see that.

Word I do see that you've spent more time looking at the a reference and trying to emulate it with some of those. Practice that method of seeing what you're trying to draw more and you will improve significantly. Remember, don't just draw how you imagine something looks like, try to draw how it actually looks.
