*Pushes you toward MoCing instead*

I do that from time to time, I have a... legless Certavus thing from after the contest. Cuz I felt like making my own at the wrong time XP

A cheep trick involving the eyes:

When you draw a good eye leave the other one blank. Then when you scan your drawing, use an editor to copy the good eye into place.

Cheater.

If you want to draw good eyes without being a cheater *glare*, I suggest doing this: draw faint little oval outlines first, fiddle with them until the shape looks good, and then add the irises and pupils. That's what I do. Well actually, I just draw a little circle and don't even add the pupils half the time, but uhh, whatever. And practicing drawing eyes by looking at your own in a mirror can help you get the hang of drawing a nice eye shape.

And hair...is something else entirely. It really depends on your style, whether you want to draw very realistically, more cartoon or anime-ish, or semi-realistic like I do. My best advice on that is not to be too fussy; don't get caught up in trying to make it look perfect. Looser strokes look more natural; experiment a bit, have fun, and see what you can come up with.

But you're right, the only surefire way to get better is to practice. A lot. Until your eyes won't stay open and your hand is stiff. And sleep. And then repeat. Oh, and chocolate helps creativity flow, LK and I have proven this scientifically.;D
