So like, for the past several (many?) years now, I've noticed that I can not for the life of my draw well. The best I can do are stick figures and that stereotypical house with the square window and chimney. Yet i've always wanted to improve.
So like, this is a thread where you share your tips for drawing, maybe a walkthrough or two on how to draw. Anything, really. Any help would be appreciated.

I am no drawer, by anyone's standards but common advice I hear from people who CAN draw is "to always draw, and never stop. If you're bored, draw something. If you see something cool, draw it. Regardless of quality, you should just draw"
Something along those lines.

I just know the basics, but I suggest that you draw the outline faintly and in a lot of lines, so that you can then select the lines you like the most, and use them as a base for your drawing.

I am obsessed with getting human faces right and I draw in an anime-like style so I know how to draw that so take my answers with a grain of salt but I recommend over sizing everything and then using a pencil to slowly make it smaller like when I draw a head I always start with a very large face shape then slim it down to something finer
