Very good. And to add on to everything that has been said already, you don't have to entirely wipe out drawing in a more cartoony style, just try to avoid doing nothing but a cartoon style. You will find that when drawing the human figure, it becomes difficult to make it look realistic without shading, which can take many, many hours (even days) to do. Don't be worried if your stuff looks "too cartoony" at first.
If you have a sketchbook, I suggest taking it with you everywhere, and whenever you see someone who catches your eye for whatever reason, do a gesture drawing of them. A simple outline or a stick figure of however they're posed at the exact instant you see them.
The faster you get, the more detail you'll be able to get into your drawing in a short amount of time.
Eventually, you'll be able to loosen up with no problem and draw in a cartoony style that looks good. Heck, it might even look great! Also, there's no problem in drawing inspiration or using comics/manga as a reference, as long as you keep a close eye on the anatomy of your picture. If your stuff starts looking like a Rob Liefeld drawing or even something out of Elfen Lied, you may want to take a different approach.
