Your best bet is to start drawing 10 years ago, but that's rather impossible so practice practice practice! Make a sketch (I prefer light blue), then draw over it on a different layer. Try drawing the guy from Alien Hominid, plants, lamps, furniture, whatever. I like to think that you develop your own style eventually (I know I have), so I would steer clear of tutorials. But that's me.

i was wondering, whats the main tool used to draw a character? Do most people use pen tool or do they take squares and circles and modify them?

Some are drawing, some are animation. Most of them are related to people.

Use the pen tool if you are good with it... I personally don't understand it. :P Weird bezier stuff.

I think the pencil tool and the paintbrush are much more natural to use.

The pencil tool is good for making clean, even lines. It has a few tool options; straighten (for straight lines with angles), smooth (for nice smooth curves), and ink (to follow the mouse as close as your computer can).

I really like to use the paintbrush the most, it makes nice, messy lines with a width that varies. If the line looks to jagged and awkward use the optimize feature in the Modify menu (or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C).

I'm using Flash MX so things might be different in another program, I don't know.

I hope this helps...
