use blank paper instead of lined paper
your line control is very poor, practice controlling your pencil by doing straight line exercises and such

>Cognitive Drawing. Look at a reference, hide it and draw from memory, then take out the reference and draw while looking at it.
>Blind contours.
>Gesture drawings.
>continuous overlapping line drawings
>grind lots of shapes and lines and forms
>draw still life of cuboid/spherical household objects
>print out references and break them down into shapes and forms

For drawing bodies, I'd recommend more gesture drawings and blind contours. Study clothed bodies, skeletons, and clothes.

Honestly just keep drawing cartoons and focus on simple shapes, BUT you NEED to draw them with 3d shapes in mind. Once you feel comfortable drawing cartoons you'll have the ambition to move on to more complicated anatomy.

you're too young and inexperienced for tips. you need to just keep drawing subjects you find interesting, do your best, and have fun. come back when you are older
