But OP, these sketches are not clean. See the blue lines of the right arm to feel how the artist was trying to find a good shape. And there is one thing you are probably not seeing. The artist probably has drawn some thumbnails before tackling this illustration, so it isn't as messy if he had tried to draw this directly.

Yes, it's called drawing. Do it a lot.

Can this just be an appealing sketches thread now?

Ink your drawings.
Going over lines very cleanly with ink will teach you to draw smooth, precise lines and not waste them.
So many people waste pencil lines; they just flick them onto the paper with feeling, but no sense of precision or dedication.

Draw a lot, just as simply as that, at start you will have to do the sketches part by part, first shapes, then go on with a general idea of the face, clean a bit more the lines add hair, always do it layer over layer, like a sketch of the sketch (this is only one of a million ways to do it). Also always draw different poses like ones you've never drawn before, after hours of practice of this you will be able to do a single sketch onto drawing, even though you master this, sketches are not meant to be clean, so you will always try to do it as simplistic as you can.
I recommend to you to watch the KNKL show a channel from youtube, the guy is also an ex-rioter (a worker from riot the company that created league of legends), he's really onto alt-style drawing but has a lot of realistic style videos, hope this helps you

Just do gesture drawings. Forget about being tidy, just focus on improving your ability to draw lines and being able to scribble out your ideas quickly and effeciently. The tidiness will come on its own, just draw.
