You've got some epic feedback here so far. I remember being at this point years ago...I'm basically going to tell you what I wish I could tell myself back in 8th grade haha.
-Draw from life as MUCH as possible. Strive not only to replicate, but to understand.
-Don't use lines for everything, think in terms of marks, accents, shapes, edges and values.
-Research the kind of stuff that ateliers do and aim to replicate their exercises.
Do these and I can pretty much guarantee exponential growth in your abilities to draw whatever your want convincingly. Best of luck!
