Okay I'd love to help you out.
What tips would you like? 
Digital or traditionally?
For me digital art is more unknown because I just started with it.
However I'll try my best to give you some advice dear.

Let's start with traditional art.
This is the key to everything in my opinion.
Try to draw one thing a day, you must not draw the perfect thing every single day, that's just impossible at least for me.
Search for something you like and sketch it, an actor or an animal, just everything you like or find cool.
I really love to draw people so I usually start to draw them. It's good for learning the anatomy and how the structure of someone's face is made. 
Whenever I draw a person for the first time I look at many different pictures so I could capture the face as best as possible.
With time you'll see how much easier it gets and you're able to draw them from memory with just a small reference used.
For coloring try yourself out. I love water color, it's a great medium with brings out a lot personal charm. I prefer it over color pencils but I also like them. 

Digital art, yes this is harder.
Start with the sketch, it doesn't have to be perfect, every single mistake you made until then you can erase.
I usually put my outlines in their own folder so I don't draw on them.
Create a new folder, this time maybe for the skin. Starting with the skin is something I do, you could now create a new layer and name it color. There you could add the wanted skin color you want, the base tone and various other tones. Don't be shy to use a lot, but don't use too many dark colors at the beginning. It will look dirty, of course it depends on your style and how you want the outcome of your drawing but keep in mind brighter colors are easier for the beginning. You could always add darker colors later.
I love to use red and pinkish colors for skin, also i love blue and violet it makes the picture and especially the skin looks more lively and warm.
Try to keep in mind where the light sources are on your drawing, from behind, or wherever you want it, stick to this otherwise it will be confusing even for yourself.
Done with the skin (it doesn't have to be perfect now, you can always add more later, like details. I swear it's easier to add details when you're almost done and see how the drawing looks so far) you can add a new folder, I create a new folder for just everything but you don't have to.
When you draw eyes don't just use black, with everything follow this rule, the world consists of so many colors so try to not focus on adding black and white to everything, there are so many other great colors to use instead.
For skin use a very light pink or yellow, yes even light blue makes the skin glow more than white could ever. Though I'll have to admit sometimes you need white, just use it with thought.
When you're unsure how something looks always look it up, when I try to create textures like bubbles or rain I search on google or other websites for good references that I could use. This makes your drawings more realistic and you could challenge yourself into something without getting frustrated over not getting the result you want.

Another very important thing, not every drawing has to be perfect or good, sometimes we have to try ourselves out with a style just to see it's not for us, then start another drawing, just try out another thing and then you'll find the right way for you.

I hope this helps you a little bit if not I'm here for more specifics questions for a topic like how to use hair or something like that.
