Ibram, one thing my drawing teacher pointed out to us in drawing one was the difference between drawing from observation and drawing a symbol which represents 'eyes' for example.
If you really look at an eye, you'll see it doesn't look anything like a section of a lentil.
The reason I'm a photographer is that I haven't the patience to draw as well as I'd like. (nor the skill)
If you enjoy drawing then keep drawing. If you are content with your drawings then everything's fine. If you'd like your drawings to look "better"(in your mind) than they do, take a drawing one class. Stop drawing from photos and draw from observation.
My generic advice to anyone who wants to improve whatever skill they are pursuing is "never be satisfied with where you are." That doesn't mean don't appreciate your talents, just don't be satisfied.
Keep going.
