I'm gonna show you guys how to practice (steal). When you look at a artist's work (and cursing them for being better) you want to look at the properties of the art such as the dimensions, expressions etc...
Most of these poses were indirectly taken from a Looney Tunes comic drawn from a great artist know as David Alvarez. He really has a great rubber band snap to his work. I drew them with my character so I could exercise my brain abit. If your a beginner try to copy something four times and then put away all references and draw from your experience.
Now cartoons are like rubber bands in that you can stretch them a distance before the viewer notices something is amiss (and starts critiquing like they actually know a pencil from a penis). Notice the outstretched hand giving the finger is large perhaps larger than normal while the subordinate hand is perhaps smaller than normal tucked in the back.
ITS IMPORTANT TO STUDY THEORY!!
It is possible to "one up" a existing reference but what you do has to work (no amount of practice can cure bad taste). Take one of those large expression pages and draw your character with the properties that you glean from the reference.
Give it a shot.

Heh, my biggest glitch right now doesn't seem to be a lack of... knowledge as much as disciplene, motivation, etc. I am happy at my current skill level (though of course I wouldn't mind improving, ah-duh), but drawing isn't as fun for me as other things are, like videogames, reading, or hanging out with friends.
There's the big trick: being interested enough in drawing to Keep. On. Drawing...!
I'll just quietly hope for the motivation to want to draw more (though I'd probably get a fey bargain, and not be able to do anything *but* draw).
Just gotta find that one thing that makes videogames less interesting than art.
Heh, I know someone who studies hypnosis, and managed to use force of will to change his interest from videogames to working on a weather site, so its not impossible... But I also know that different folks trigger and develop their wills in different ways, so who knows how much of his methods would work on me... we shall see I suppose.
...Regardless of my own artistic blocks and neurosis, Its cool of you to work on trying to teach others...:) I may have hit a wall atm, but I believe anyone who wants it enough, can learn to draw (just gotta find a way to improve that *want*...)
.....did I ever mention that the links between artists and psychology fascinate me? *shrugs and wanders away, twitching and muttering to himself madly*
