My drawing style...

I'm trying to change my drawing style...but it's hard. My drawing style is anime style...which I have been drawing since 1997. So it's very hard for me to try and draw another style with without it being influenced by anime. Over a period of time my style has changed a little,(or a lot) I have been told my drawing style looks like a fusion of Disney and anime,while others say it's just anime style. I love the way Disney animator's draw...maybe some day I can draw like them.

All last year, I have been drawing from life or photos,and took a drawing 1 class in college,(but had to drop out,couldn't afford it..) I notice I learned a lot about lines and creating a 3d object on a flat piece of paper. I learned drawing is a lot like sculpting. Before I was only thinking about the lines. I was drawing and not thinking about the "3d" space the drawing was in!  

Sometimes I fall into my old habits...lol

When I looked at comic book artist or fantasy artist pencil works, I wonder how do they draw like that and why can't I ? They are using different line widths,and line stokes. Thin lines can be use for drawing details,and/or if the object/character is far. Thick/bold lines are use for shadows,or if the object/character close. 
One of my recent unfinished drawings.


Drawing a dark line and slow fading it to a light line,will make line appear to go off in the distance,and vesre-versa. I kinda knew all of this,but it didn't click with me until took that class.

I hope I will develop my style into something I'm more I'm happy with,but I think it will always be influenced by anime.
