Drawing is fun~ Just practice alot and try different styles and stuff until you settle with something you like. Dont omly focus on getting better you also have to enjoy drawing too! ^^ Dont get depressed or down if your a slow learner or if you don't see any progress alot of the time there is progress but its not noticeable when your the artist unless you save your art so try to save your art all the time even if you tihnk you'll never finish it just save it in the doodles folder or something ^^ This way you can look back at it to see your progress. Different people learn at different levels so dont feel bad if you feel like it takes more time for you to improve then it does the next person.. I had a friend who started drawing in one year she became even ebtter then me who had been drawing like since I was 9 lol and to be honest it kind of depressed me but dont let it! Always draw becasue you love to and not because of anything else!

Practice, determination and dedication. If you don't practice, your skills get "soggy". If you don't have determination, you won't get anything done. If you don't dedicate your ENTIRE LIFE to what you want to do/be for the rest of your life, then you'll lose morale and you'll NEVER become a successful or more talented artist. Skills aren't just something you acquire, it's something you earn by hard work. Hope that helps! :)

Big thing is to just have fun and practice. ^^ Personally, I got where I am by looking at various show's styles and mimicking it, whether it's the coloring style, the proportions of characters, or things like that. Over time, everything just kinda mashed into my current style. It got me to a place where I'm happy with my style, and things like proportions and things are much easier to figure out, which is a major plus. Tutorials are also a major help, too! They can help you figure out how to do things a certain way, and you can even find out how to make things your own after playing with things long enough. Another thing I'm found is that the medium you work with can also help you get more comfortable with your art. If you're using a tablet, there are a multitude of art programs you can toy with, and eventually find the one that "works best" for you. SAI, FireAlpaca, GIMP, Paint.Net, Photoshop, the list goes on. Just rummage around and see which program fits best with what you wanna do! And the BIGGEST thing is to draw for yourself. Draw how you wanna draw, draw what you wanna draw, and draw when you wanna draw. As artists, we owe it to ourselves to enjoy our creations! So go out there and have fun and enjoy your progress! Augh, I wrote a lot. XD Sorry about that! Still, I hope this made sense and helped, even if only a little bit.
