Hey there, welcome to the forums!
I see you're just starting, its nice to the see the enthusiasm! Practice a lot, everyday, and you will see results soon enough :D
I'd like to give you two tips to think about: when you're going to paint something, use the largest possible brush and resolve the shading with the least amount of brushtrokes possible. The more strokes you lay, the more unwanted and random texture you add to the piece. If this texture is NOT what you're aiming for, things can get messy.
Similar logic can be applied to lines: doing this small repeated lines on top of each other is called "hairy lines" and create the same unwanted texture effect. This can also be avoided by practicing doing long lines and solving your contours with the adequate amount of lines! It takes a little practice but the result is amazing. You can do a messy sketch in one layer to define all the forms and shapes, then clean up the sketch on a layer above, being economic about the lines.
I'll be checking for updates! Keep it up!
