---Those are the basics---
Now let me show you some tips that could improve your skills in less than 2 months:
1_Do not download suggested text (pdf) tutorials, 99% of them are garbage. Search good tutorials in youtube and download them with atube catcher or some online service.
Avoid if possible tutorials made by FEMALES, there are a few of them that are actually good, but just avoid them....
Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy8Xz6PIf3Q2_For anatomy just remember that the body is:
---0 to 8 yo: 4 heads
---8 to 15 yo: 5 heads
---15 and more yo: 6 to 6,5 heads
The hand is 3/4 of the head
Total length of the arm + hand + fingers = to the apex of the ballsacks.
Legs + feet lenght can change from 2 to 3,8 heads.
Take a look at this page and try the tutorials:

You have a fucking tablet, you can draw sketches directly.
4_
SAI: linear
CLIP: organization
Photoshop: effects
Painter: colour mixing
Krita: just fuck my shit up
Do not use only 1 program, combine them.
If you can use programs like Zbrush or Blender for modeling and sculpt your own shit better. I use SketchUp to make terrain and buildings.
