The first suggestion I can give you is to look up help tutorial on DeviantArt, they tell you how to use different tools on SAI and things to that nature.

Your drawing looks cute! I love the ribbons!

Thanks! But I still got a long way :3
Please do not take the following criticisms as an attack .

Do not start off working on a tablet. Always start your artistic studies with traditional media until you get the hang of the physical form enough to translate it into a digital format.

If you want to continue working on humans, humanoids, or variations there of you need a STRONG understanding of anatomy. If you are young I suggest looking at photos with people in "nude suites" and if you're older I suggest Classic Human Anatomy by Valerie Winslow and also Andrew Loomis (all his books). If you have access to a human skeleton (like your science lab) then use it.

For perspective and environments, there are many tutorials on deviantart and looking at your own surroundings always makes a difference.

Color is something I still have trouble with so I'm not going there.

Most importantly, practice. Practice, practice, practice. Because, honestly, that's the only method of getting better.

You have a long way to go, duckling. Good luck.
