Hi LadyClover,
I love your illustrative style.
Have you ever tried to see objects as abstract forms and shapes? A good exercise is to practise with your reference photo upside down (and then also draw that way). It makes you draw what you see and not what you think you see.
I also think a lot of practice would improve your drawing skills. It's very important to draw from life or photos but it doesn't have to be boring. Maybe you can experiment with different mediums, draw in different places and make drawing / painting your happy and safe place.
