You have a problem with absorbing information objectively. I didn't say anything about not trying again, what I said was to observe what you're drawing. Really observe it. If you don't get it right, absolutely do it again. And again, and again, until it is right. Then, when you can draw something as you see it, you can start playing around with styles and abstractions. Until you do that, everything you draw is going to look like it has no underlying structure and it's melting. I drew this when I was 2 years younger than you are now. It's definitely not perfect, but it's not about achieving perfection. It's about being as observant as possible & learning to use those strokes to convey what you observe, rather than rushing through it and filling in gaps with what you think the object looks like & how you think hatching should be used. If you actually want to get better, push yourself to really draw what's in front of you, and use the hatching to show form.
