Drawing sprites is hard!

I started today off playing the magnificent Super Mario 64! After playing this I decided that I would really like to have a go at making a game myself. Using the Game Maker 8.1 software I have attempted to make a video game. Having barely any experience in programming, Game Maker really helps as it replaces a lot of the coding with simple logic equations. A few hours were spent creating floor and wall tiles for my game which were fairly simple but alas, I came to a grounding halt when it came to drawing sprites for my game. There is a mountainous problem that I have to overcome before I can get any further; I cannot draw. After spending several gruelling hours trying to draw a sprite I gave up and resorted to reading tutorials on the internet. These still did not help and I resorted to pencil and paper to try and draw a character concept. Here are some of the doodles:
