Study from life and what work inspires you and learn from there. I'm a comic artist at heart, I learned to draw flung liquid from Jim Lee's blood style, mountains and rocks from Calvin and Hobs(Look at the Spaceman Spiff ranges, there awesome) monsters from Jack Kirby and so on. Figure out what it is that you like about other peoples work and integrate it into your own.
Also draw what you want, what inspires you. That way even if you're just learning you will pour your heart into it. Always experiment with new techniques and use the benzier tool to clean up your pencil lines and the Smoke Eraser for your pen lines.
Make sure you blue line your work, start with a light colored draft on layer 0 and trace your outline on layer 1. Sometimes I prefer to draw the head or face on a different layer then the body so I can move/adjust proportions without trouble. You can then mask the black line on layer 1 and use the Eraser Rectangle to erase any white pixels remaining and draw your back ground on layer 0, the one you made your draft on.
As for faces, try a mirror and study the key element of the human face in what ever position. If you're drawing a highly emotional picture, keep in your mind the feeling you want the pic to portray and put your emotions into it. Play the scenario of what your drawing over and over in your head and really sink your self in the environments you create.
If you want to draw, obviously you have some sort of vision that you want to bring to life. It's important to enjoy your work and your vision, don't set your standards too high at first, but always try your best.
