Hey man, it's so tough being at that frustrating stage where you aren't happy with your stuff but trust me, it doesn't last all that long! Keep reading, watching youtube videos and most importantly drawing and struggling and you'll get through it in no time!
This is some guidance from Daisaku Ikeda (a buddhist mentor), he says we need to make and keep promises to ourselves, that is the basis for all our interactions being honest - but only if we can be honest and keep our promises to ourselves. So, you can make a determination, and make a promise to yourself like (for example) 'I will do 20 minutes gesture drawing everyday, without fail, no matter what' and really hold yourself to that, you will really start to fly in no time. If you have to go to bed later, it's only 20 minutes right? or get up 20 minutes earlier if you are fresher and more motivated in the morning - the time is there, we just have to seize it! (speaking from experience, when I started drawing I had a full time job, so I really really do know what it's like!) Hang in there man! It's good that you got the bug since no matter how it happens you'll end up drawing somehow : )
