I'm one of those graphic designers that don't really know how to draw. All I had was a 14 day course that taught me some really basic figure drawing, and perspective. Which helped me with observation but I can't draw creatively yet so everything here is copy-drawn from references.
I'll update the thread as I continue my journey.

[size=large]My first drawing, took around 40 mins. 4 inches tall.
Was especially hard to get the eyes matching, as well as having the hair look natural.
Day 2, also took around 40 mins. 4 inches tall.
Guy hair is significantly harder than girl hair. Though managed to get lines a bit cleaner.
A few days later, forgot how long this took.
Tried to draw a character consistently at 3 different angles. Was too lazy to do the hair... Improvised a bit on the eyes this time.[/size]

I'm drawing with a simple 0.5 HB mechanical pencil on a sketchbook. Nothing fancy.
I'll consider using some Prismacolor's in the future.
Enjoys.
