@Paprika - A good eye for detail isn't bad. :) But if you want to create purely original stuff, you have to start all over from the very beginning like everyone else. XD And not get frustrated that you're a beginner.

If you want to draw comic style, get How to Draw the Marvel Way. If you want to draw manga style, there are dozens of beginner manga drawing books (I recommend the How to Draw Manga series over the knock-off series, though). If you want to do more realistic things, there are lots of how-to books of those sorts too. :)

But even if you choose manga or comic style, you need a good foundation in drawing realism. That's where your eye for detail comes in handy. You can do life-studies of your hands and feet and family and bowls of fruit and that helps a lot in drawing a stylized style. :3
