I really like drawing, and I do pretty good when I see the picture in front of me, but I want to be able to drive a manga character from my memory, or even invent one by myself. Could you send me some websites or give me some advices where to start?

Just view some manga or movies that you have interest in, and then add different clothes to that character or hair style from another manga/movie you enjoyed and keep going until you have your own mental database of the perfect manga characters.
Go on this site they'll give you a hand on free drawing and ideas: http://www.deviantart.com/#

i got your back homie

sycra.net- has a shitload of resources including figure drawings, references, livestreams, communities, and etc. he provides seperate links so go ahead and click resources.

here are some things people said helped.
-learn fundamentals
-study anatomy. (pixelovely, posemaniac, andrew loomis book "warning this shit is boring to read")
-try to copy other peoples work like the process. (this is wear livestream or tutorials help). study from people like john singer sargeant or your favorite artists like redjuice. (theres a video of him working on youtube check under wacom or his ustream)
- draw in sketchbook for 30 minutes a day. i do this and its helpful.
-develop your own style. (someone said that a person never has an original style because its always inspired by something.) i think this is true so studying your favorite artists help.

if you wanna talk to me bout it somemore then give me a holla
this is my god damn signature.

For me it worked following Claymore manga, I started to practice and I improved a lot :)
For a manga to work you need to like it, you need to have fun making it.
