I'm coloring lineart right now... The results... not too flattering. 
Aw.D: Well, first, did you try looking around to find tips on line weight? This could help your linearts improve once you master the basics. Also, when coloring digitally, I would say to try not to use the air brush tool too often unless you are really knowledgeable about the cool things it can do to improve your work.
The most important thing to do is to train your eye to judge quality, not to necessarily directly compare your work with others. It took me about two to three years for me to develop that eye just by observing everything around me and those pro artists. This can help you to improve your art in the near future, too.:3
I'm not the best at this stuff either but I'm glad if my tips can help you in the future!^^

Thanks, I don't know jack about much of any of this, I really need to learn how to use color and shadows. If someone tells me to go monochrome one more time, I'm going to go nuts! I didn't even know what it meant the first time I heard it!
Hey, no problem!^^
XD I didn't know what that was when I was first starting out either. The only monochrome things I did were sketches that I occasionally filled in with dark pencil or pen and in more rare occasions, with the same color in Sai or something. Once you understand shading and stuff, you can do some cool things with one color (plus white and/or black).^^

Well, there is that bow I shaded. Perhaps I should try different objects? 
I think so.:3
But... what? 
Try to draw and shade things around your house, like books or maybe curtains with a good light source which could help improve your shading, especially when you're bored, or was it something more specific you were speaking of...:3
