The colors and technique you used on the skirt is really pretty, it has such a dreamy, playful look to it. I really like it!
The one thing I would definitely say for anyone is try studying anatomy. Learn about to curves of the head and neck and shoulders. It will start out not making any sense and looking weird, but after that awkward stage you'll start to have something that looks human! ^.^
Don't be afraid to experiment and make your humans bigger and more detailed. Smaller is good for basic shapes, bigger helps you to get the meaning of the shapes.
Another thing that helped me a lot was doing little sketches in real life. I worked as a cashier and when things were slow I'd whip out a pen and rip off some clean receipt paper and just start drawing! The early attempts were... laughable. But they got good! I even started posting them on Deviantart 'cause I liked them so much!
Lastly, keep an eye on things you like from your favorite artists. I'm not saying rip them off by copying their pieces, but for example if you like the way one person does their eyes, try doing it that way until you hit a technique you are comfortable with. Eventually your art will become it's own style, and inspirational will start to come from you!
Keep it up! There's no magic that's gonna shoot you straight to where you want to be, but as cliche as it is: practice makes perfect!
