Well I've always been able to draw since I have been for as far back as I can remember but some things you can try is drawing what the figure will look like with circles like the head then the body etc so everything is proportionate then put in detail. My friend always starts with the eyes first but I usually start with the lower part of the head then add hair when I'm done with most of the face. Also you can try drawing just body parts all the time over and over like hands in different positions arms, head, etc. Also what I heard helps is drawing upside down which I guess allows you to see mistakes you make, or looking at a drawing upside down.
