There's a lot to art improvement that goes beyond just drawing and thinking about art. Your brain has to be healthy, stimulated and ideally your life should be low on stress. What should one do to improve his brain in ways that affect the ability to create good art? Does learning a new language or some other skill help? Have you noticed doing something completely unrelated to art and still growing artistically?

how do i draw like this without spending 10 years drawing boxes in blank spaces

by "this" you probably mean "how do I draw in an appealing way thats similar and doesn't look like I'm trying too hard" and the answer to that is draw different bodys and different symbol drawing styles until you create your own style. Start by copying that and when you get it wrong, analyze what to keep and what to throw away.

Sleep, diet, and exercise beat any other hacks by a wide margin. Please trust me on this, as someone who has tried many hacks.

I don't drink caffeine after 3pm. I get an hour of cardio and I'm busy the entire day, so I'm tired by 9:30pm. I look at art books for 15 minutes in bed and don't look at my phone from 9pm to 10pm (when I sleep). I rarely eat anything after 7:30pm (digestion hurts sleep). I keep my room very dark. I don't nap during the day. All these things help me get good sleep. If you get good sleep, that usually translates to consistent sleep.

this is the worst part of drawing. I'm sitting here trying to draw but I want to kill myself, so how am I supposed to make appealing lines when I can't even focus for 5 seconds on the moment?

I find that at least 8 hours of video games a day improves my stress level which helps me draw better

Gaining life experience. Ideally, traveling. Try getting short-time work in a variety of fields. Go to places you wouldn't normally go and talk to the people there. Pick a random direction in your town and just walk. Just do things and see what happens.

The next thing I would suggest is reading books.
