seeing as how im not really good at this i decided that i would try and stick with the basics. i am understanding that i cannot draw backgrounds and I understand i cannot get porportion and shading right. i cant even get the face's shape right. all my drawings are pretty if not VERY bad and i wouldnt dought it if i didnt get any comments on this picture.

well dont be too hard on yourself. we all gotta start somewhere. maybe start practicing anatomy for a while might help. and even though i hate tutorials since they only teach you one style i'll give you some links to check out.

julie dillon's tutorials
loomis online anatomy check the top links (theres nudity since its anatomy so if youre not cool with nudes might not wanna look at this one.)
portrait drawing
artist directory plethora of links of tutorials and art sites.

and you can find tons from search engines as well but i mpretty sure this should keep you going for a while.

"I wouldn't doubt it if I didn't get any comments on this picture." Hmm. Personally, I think you're saying all this to get sympathy/pity out of the other users, and to incur responses like, "No no! You're great at drawing!"

...Not to be harsh, of course. Tutorials are one way of progressing, but they never worked for me.
