Thanks for the advice, is that book available in malaysia?
Not sure, but you can find it online *cough*free*cough*
But yeah, for reference, look at azarimy's doodling over the years here or this guy's doodling.

Apart from the cartoony style doodles, you'd want to easily draw something of that caliber on your own.
You need that freedom, and doodling cartoon or semi-realistic figure is the way to gain it quickly.
You need to develop that carefree strokes.
This trains your visualization skill, constructing a shape in your head and being able to draw it with your hand as accurate and efficient as possible with practice.
Form and flow first, put aside accuracy, style preference or aesthetics much later.

Artists especially self-taught eventually stumbles into a wall someday
and there's usually 2 reasons;
> can't seem to draw certain shapes from certain angles, looks ugly / not right, not comfortable to draw at your current level (stuck with symbol drawing all these time - bad habit)
> don't have the proper knowledge, which you need to study (can't draw hands? that's because you never bothered to study it)
Keys to Drawing is a good meme book teaching you how to overcome the first obstacle, and makes the 2nd a much easier task to handle
Don't jump straight to learning how to draw pretty stuff.. you'll pick up lots of bad practice and really hard to unlearn it..
