Artists are born artists. But Drawing is a skill that can be learned. Looks like you're in a college town. There are probably real life drawing classes near you. Look for the one with the fewest hippies and housewives attending. Anatomy is fundamental. A few books that helped me are the illusion of life by Thomas and Johnson. Art anatomy by rimmer, muybridge, toth and Miyazaki.

I've worked for twenty years as an animator, illustrator and storyboard artist. Many people start out with "talent". But like most things it's the self motivated and self taught who are the best. There are so many cal arts and design center grads back living with their parents while I'm still going.
