My drawings

Quite good! You should find some paper without lines to draw on though.

You're definitely not a hopeless case, and you seem to have a decent grasp of anatomy and proportioning already. What I would suggest is to either get a few books on drawing comic book/fantasy figures (which seem to be what you like to draw), or at least look around the web for some tutorials. They'll teach you to draw from the inside out (at the moment you're drawing from the outside in), where you first lay down a "skeleton" of your figure which allows you to get the pose, proportions, foreshortening, etc. in place before you start adding the details.

Learning to draw "comic book" characters is also good for studying anatomy, because not only do you learn where all the visible muscles are and how they move, but you learn how to exaggerate them as well - in both directions - to create characters that fall outside "realistic" anatomy (take Gollum and Hulk as two examples from either ends of the spectrum). A good book will also teach you foreshortening techniques for making pictures with a lot of impact (i.e. make them look badass).

Good luck!

I will definitely do that! I just wish I had more time to draw, university takes too much time out of me D:
 
Here is another picture I draw. I think this one is pretty good. :D I found it wayyyyy easier to draw on paper with lines as I am having trouble drawing straight lines and circles. So I guess I'll stick to this paper for a while. D: It looks a bit worse on pictures but it does not looks so bad on the original if you ask me.

Looking good!

Have you considered trying pen and ink? It might come out more sharply, especially when drawing anime' characters. I find it's always fun to play around with mediums in order to hone a skill.
 
You have a grasp of the basics, and even more important you have your creative imagination. You very much know what appeals to you and more importantly, it does speak to other individuals as well. Your work is wonderful, give it a daily voice.
 
Its all well proportioned , if you love drawing it will show just keep drawing at every opportunity you can . Practice makes perfect try and get more tones and don't be scared of using dark tones. To make it more 3d and dramatic .
 
I wish I could draw so well! I really try but I can't seem to get the proportions correct & I do a lot of erasing cuz nothing seems good enough. I have actually drawn very nice pictures in the past but I don't quite know how I did it! I once sketched a very good likeness of my instructor (not art related course). I think I was just uber bored.
