there is no such thing. perfect drawing is subjective to anyone who is looking at.

DeeNee there is no such thing. perfect drawing is subjective to anyone who is looking at. Agreed, although the masters pretty much paint perfection... Just practice a lot.

Oxygen_Junkie copy... work... copy... try looking at Da Vinci's hand sketches and try to copy them perfectly by eye. it takes so long, but once you've done it you feel like such a hand ninja c: That might work but I like to work from Live models. if you can draw exactly what you see as you see it. Drawing something like a cartoon will be like cake.

For the love of all that is good and Holy, DON'T eyeball other people's works. It really doesn't help if you're just copying off of someone else. (You might as well break out the tracing paper and just go that route...)
I suggest going to your local art store and grabbing a pack of sketchbooks (Moleskins come in a three pack, and they're very nice. They take just about any sort of media you throw at it.)
Just draw, draw, draw, draw, draw and draw some more until you've got those books filled up.
Then go get another pack.
What I suggest doing is designating your sketchbooks to one idea in particular, IF you have a goal in mind. Like.. if you can't draw hands very well, dedicate one book purely to drawing hands. Trust me. From the first page to the last one, you'll notice a HUGE difference. Just fill that sucker up, and there's no way you can't improve, if you try and practice every day.
But if you don't have a goal in mind, then just use the book to sketch anything you see around you. Like.. a fat cat, your messy bedsheets, clothes thrown on the floor, your dad... anything.

Hm, it all depends on what you're working on
I'm more of a manga artist, so I've found that when starting out it's easiest to just manipulate or freehand copy professional drawings. I would not, however, do this very long. Quite frankly, it's not very professional and if one were to post a directly copied drawing onto the internet and claim it as your own, you would infringe copyright laws. Please, please, don't do this very long, if at all.
Then I moved onto doing my own thing while learning the basics (proportions, angles, gender differences, so on and so forth)
After that I started to work with value more and just add some shading to my drawings to make them look nice.
I'm not sure what style you're referring to, but I believe this could help with most every style.
Except live studies. Then you just copy. A lot. Until you get your own models, fruit, room, or whatever to work with
(obviously not an expert)

(obviously not an expert) Sorry to burst your bubble, but for a starter, tracing/copying someone's art is like taking a step backwards. It's a waste of time, and you've taught yourself absolutely nothing in getting better. You're not acquiring the skills that artist spent years on to get to the point that you're just copying. It only teaches you how to just steal from other person's work. (I highly suggest you look up Nick Simmon's 'Incarnate' and see where tracing can get you.) As for the last comment about life studies... Your comments about learning basics first before shading CAN help with life studies, so I don't know what you mean by 'except life studies'. And what exactly are they copying, aside from what they're trying to draw on paper?
