*Old post is old XDD*
Well, I'm not much of an experienced artist either (started March-ish :P) but I could give you tips that I know!

1. Use the 'Smoothing' tool! It helps you to control your lines better, plus makes it supa smooth :P Start very low (I'd say 25%) and once you get the hang of it, put the bars higher!
2. Layers, layers, layers! It's really important! Use Layer 1 as the background, the layer above for lines and put a layer inbetween for colouring!
3. Colouring in manually is surprisingly better than using the fill tool (well, for me at least :P) so try and use that once in a while.
4. Practice, practice, practice! The more manual work you do, the more experience you'll get. Usually I just draw whatever I want.
5. Familiarise yourself with the different tools because you'll never know that the box blur tool would be useful :D

That's all I could think of. Hope it helped!
