I'm not an artist (nor can I draw), but it seems to me that one of the things to focus on while practicing is your visualization and planning. What do you start drawing first? In what order are details added in? That sort of thing. When I was trying to practice drawing, I tended to zero in on one particular detail at a time, which often lead to my having to go back and make modifications to everything I had done previously, or I would have to draw over things I had just drawn, or it just wouldn't look good all together. I don't know that there's any straight-forward way to develop it, but it's basically an artist's "mind's eye." Skill with the hand and pencil is important too, of course, but don't neglect the mental aspect!
