There really isn't easy ways to explain this but I think some tips might help to improve!.

1!. You need to learn to observe!. Artists usually are better at observing and interpreting the object in front of them!. It's easier to draw if you see a complicated object into a bunch of simple geometric shapes, and then go into details!.

2!. Don't leave any blank spots!. Even though it looks "white", its never white, there are always different shade!. Squinting your eyes will help to you identify primary tones!. also notice the lighting, compare the different shades on your object!.

3!. Keep your pencil sharp!. It's good for the details!.

4!. Look at how other people draw!. In the beginning you can imitate their drawing style, their pencil strokes!. Once you get the hang you'll develop your own style!.
