Man they're great! I'm about as artistic as wood chips so I can really appreciate the skill that I don't have!

heh, 2 tips to drawing better.
1. draw everything! even if it doesnt show, if a persons shoulder is hidden behind something, still sketch it in.
2. if you suck at something, draw it more. cant draw hands? sit there and draw hands over and over. if you deliberatly hide stuff you cant draw just because you cant draw them then youve already limited yourself and youll never get better.
thats it
edit:
short animation I made

Freestyle drawing, is accually pretty easy when you start getting the basic's down..
The first factor in a true art lesson is choosing the basic equipment with which you are most comfortable. There are a variety of pencils, paper, chalks, and charcoals available. For younger children, you might wish to start with a large pencil that is easy for little hands to grasp. For more mature artists, choose a black pastel chalk in pencil form or a graphite art pencil. Graphite pencils are soft and hard. A soft pencil makes a darker line than the soft pencils. Charcoal pencils generally come in hard, medium, and soft. Experiment with the textures of different papers. Different combinations of paper and pencil grade will produce effects that are quite varied. With either the pencil or the chalk, you will want an eraser. For pencil, the usual soft rubber pink or white eraser works fine. For chalk and charcoal drawings, the suitable eraser is a kneaded rubber gray square.
To begin, try contour drawing. First, arrange a few items on a table. Looking at the items more and the paper less, attempt to sketch just the outer lines of the shapes, as if you were moving your fingertip along the outside edges of each thing. Do not shade in at this point. Just concentrate on the outlines. Next, try another contour drawing, but use a softer or blunter pencil this time. Compare the two drawings. Notice the change in the thickness of the lines when you changed pencils.
Choosing the pencil you enjoyed using the most, draw the contour of the items a third way. This time, scribble the outline in short strokes. You can vary the strokes from short straight lines to circular patterns. This type of drawing is a bit freer. It encourages spontaneity. And it seems to add depth to the picture.
----------------------------------------------------
Concentrate on observation. The idea is to experience what is seen and transform it kinesthetically (through use of the hand) into another form or perception. Experiment with variations in holding the drawing utensil. It is natural to grip the pencil as you would when you are writing. But also try holding the pencil, chalk, or charcoal as an orchestra conductor holds a baton. The variation will produce a different type of stroke.
For Added Impact: Choose an artist to study. Check out a library book about that artist. Visit an art museum to see the artist’s work.

holy crap, you do all that?
I just use a number 2 pencil and a pen.
or just a drawing tablet when Im drawing directly onto the pc.
and even then I use OC which is a very very simple program. which is what I used for every drawing Ive posted here (apart from the animation)

I mean, this is drawn with a pencil and a pen I found on the couch
I think tools have very little to do with learning art.
the first thing you should learn is to look at things around you in a different way.

yeah, I agree, but I find its best if a person learns the proper traditional artistic methods before they go into styles.
you cant exagerate until you know the basis.
a person needs to learn/observe (I say observe because Ive still yet to take any lessons) proper human anatomy before they cartoonise/anime-fy their art.
