Practice. Then when you're done practicing, practice more.

Practice from your last drawing. Find what you dont like, change it, finish the drawing. Repeat till you get one you are overall satisfied with

The best thing to practice is spherical shapes so just draw boobs. Tons and tons of boobs.

Human proportion? Sketch, sketch, sketch! Draw from life when you can. Use YouTube tutorials, Google perspective and proportion.

Take classes she you can. Go to Art Walks and talk to local artists you like. They are usually willing to help and share ideas.

I would find artists I like and practice drawing like them. When sketching lay your lines in lightly until you know they are where you want them. Too many students are heavy handed.

even non-human proportion.

Like, I can draw an arm, or a hand, or a tail, or a flower... but whenever I try to attach anything to anything nothing makes sense.

I heard a good way to get better at drawing is to draw the exact same thing multiple times in succession. This sounds like a great idea and I actually thought of the idea myself. (But rarely do it because I tend to jump around drawing different things before feeling burned out and deciding to take a break. I guess I have ADD or something lol) Because, just think of this, even if you draw pretty well, if you were to draw the same thing twice or more, each version would look invariably look slightly different. That's intriguing is it not? It's easier to spot those subtle differences that make it better so that you could emulate it in the future.

If you're not that good at drawing though then my advice is to absorb and surround yourself with drawings you like whether it be comic books or manga style artwork. (Or whatever floats your boat if it's neither of the above)

I don't have a practice... ummm... target?

I do like Molang a lot, but I went to the store and got a book "How to draw cute stuff" by Angela Ngyuen so I'll practice some of the tutorials

The only way to get better at drawing is to draw

And draw

And draw

And draw

And then you have to draw even more.

Try focusing on parts of a subject. Draw an eye, hand, foot, whatever 100x over
