its a good idea to come up with your own style when starting off, but its a big help to get the occaissonail tip from a friend. Don't become too reliant on these tips, though, and lessons aren't the best way, creativity is the deciding factor. I taught a friend to draw, and he lacked the creative spark, he has pencil control, but sucks other than that. So, start off alone, practice basics, such as circles, which are rarely perfect, lines, which aren't perfectly strait, but will work anyways, and make sure that you are doing it for your expressive needs, not just to make cool looking things.

Professionals often draw a "skeleton" when drawing forms and then put on the skin and details. I'm pretty sure they didn't all come up with that on their own accord.

that entirely depends upon the professional, and if it works for you, go for it, if not, then don't. Use a style that works for you, and I may use things that could be described as a 'skeleton' but its not necessary, just a convenience that can get in the way occaissonally

i used to hate the skeleton process but it kind of helps when I'm trying to lay something out realistically 3-d or with some strange perspective... also it can help keep balance correct.... Most of the time I don't bother tho.
