    Your curves come out wonky because you suck at them. The only way to fix this is to practice a lot. just import whatever images you want and practice tracing them with the pen tool, youll eventually learn where to place points and how to drag the curves effectively. Don't be afraid to adjust curves afterward either.

    Honestly though, youre still going to have to sketch, thats kind of a given... The thing about illustrator and the computer in general though is that you can do rough sketches and then clean them up and make them perfect in illustrator.
