Technique to draw anything I see?

I've noticed that there are some people who instantly can just draw anything from memory perfectly.

Is that something that just comes along with lots of practice?

Does it stem from lots of life drawings?

I think it is really need lots of practice and life experience.

What do you mean by life experinces? DO you mean with life or just the practicing?

Yes. To both.
You are dealing with two things here: hand-eye coordination--basically the ability to translate what the eyes see to the hand drawing the lines/shapes/forms/rendering etc.
That, and the ability to internally visualize something, to the degree that the image is so clear in the mind that its like drawing from a real-life subject.
The stronger the ability to visualize, the more and easier one can draw from imagination and memory.

How do you get these two things?

Use them, practise them. You already have this ability--every human being is born with it.
Think of them as being like a muscle, at first its weak and the results are not that great, but over time, with use you gain more ability and refinement.

The secret........is not really a secret at all: just draw.

Draw from life, draw from characters you like in images you look at. Draw from imagination, draw from what you remember. Practise drawing accurately, from photos or images....if you need to at the start, trace things to get the "muscle-memory" down and then forego the tracing and draw on your own as you gain confidence. Draw scribbles on a page and then make something out the scribbles, like imagining objects in a cloud in the sky.
There's no rules to this, go with whatever works, whatever gets you results.

But keep drawing. Its just a lot of work, not a lot of mystery.

short answer, yes.

I agree with lots of drawing but I think mixing in other types of drawing will help, too. Give yourself some assignments.
Perspective drawing - first shapes and objects then figures.
Draw from paintings and sculpture - go to museums
Quick sketches - anywhere
Long pose - take a figure drawing class.

Develop a critical eye. Where do you think you fall short? Is it the relation of one feature to another that's off? Does it just not sit right on the page? Does it lack weight.

Bridgeman's book on drawing the human figure is excellent.

Good luck!

All arts all originates from the life true.Only fully experienced life, to create the perfect work.

Happy life can't apply colours to a drawing of the render farm !

There is something to be said for unique individuals who truly can "just do it".
