I am OKAY at drawing but I want to get better. Way better.
I googled and I wasn't 100% pleased.
So I thought you guys might know of a nice place to learn how to draw. As in just some lessons and advice. I know you cant just read some tutorials and instantly become an artist.

I've always thought drawing was more of a self implied thing, If you really want to get good, you practice and develop your own strategies and other unique things.

Talk to an art teacher at school.
Teach yourself.

DeviantART and Art Threads can offer you worthy advices from time to time, drawing from references while paying attention to LITTLE details can help you find little things that are deal sealer, like the right use of lightning, the orientation of your strokes during shading, etc.
Like I was saying show people your works, here on Facepunch, in case of a fanwork you might also post it on said fandom's bulletin boards, on DeviantART, friends and MiRC.
Get a sketchbook and draw lots of stuff outside of your comfort zone.
Can't draw cars? Draw cars. Can't draw trees? Draw trees.

This is definitely good advice, but it's also important to do stuff you enjoy, just so you can keep from getting burnt out on drawing. Try to keep a good balance.
Look for that book 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'.
It's aight.
The true challenge of learning to draw is not being a better technician, but keeping the [i]motivation to draw[/i] long enough to be better
In that regard I recommend Stephen Covey's [i]7 Habits of Highly Effective People[/i]
