Keep practicing, but avoid the hard lines whenever possible. Think about everything around you-- do they have outlines?
Whenever you can, start experimenting with tones of light and dark. Ignore outlines-- don't worry about the shape necessarily, try just matching the levels of dark and light with a subject.
Spenner do you shop out the smudges on the paper or are your drawings really that clean? o__O
I always erase them as I go, put paper over to protect them from my hands etc :P they're pretty clean. The only ones with smudges are the ones other people have smudged ;~; also, for those two drawings I used the cap of a highlighter with some of the plastic gone soft to smudge with-- it does the job plus it doesn't cast it out everywhere.
Also, same thing here Mid-- the same rules apply even to objects not in the real world
