There are millions of images of female anime characters in magazines, posters, signs, graphic novels and online. For the widest variety of images, good places to look would be image sharing sites like Photobucket or websites devoted to anime such as Fanpop or Anime Cubed.
They look like anime but the color is black and white

There is no such thing as an American anime.Anime is Japanese animation.There are cartoons that look like anime but aren't.In my opinion real anime is better than the American anime like cartoons.They may look like anime but they just don't have the same action,culture,emotion and comedy as real anime. Shows like Avatar,Totally Spies,Kappa Mikey are good for kids but its just not the same as japan's original work.
Sketch out your characters with what you think they would look like according to their personality and your story .
To fully answer this question I would have to know what your difinition of 'anime skills' is. If you mean general knowledge about a variety of anime and their content or anime terminology then i suggest you watch alot of anime or look at anime related sites. If you mean your drawing skills then i suggest you either purchase or borrow some 'how to draw manga' books. There are plenty out there however some of them are trash so i suggest you get a good one. I really don't know what it is that you are after but I hope these helped... XD
I think it's more a matter of opinion but if you look at what people call "cartoons" and what people call "anime" then I would consider anime to be more Japanese than cartoons. Usually though, if it's stupid I consider it to be a cartoon.
I would first of all probably look on Animefreak.tv they have a wide selection of anime aswell as Animeboy.org
