Here are the tips in no particular order;

1) Repetition
Little and often
Binge sessions have their place but they are harder to fit in and easy to put off
Build it into a routine if you can
Routines
Make them achievable and adaptable

2) Keep it interesting
Keep looking for new motivation and trying new things
Take part in challenges and competitions
Give yourself deadlines and something to aim for.

3) Work on your weaknesses
Have a reference in front of you
Draw 10 faces quickly 1 minute each
Review our work for the previous one and correct it on the next.

4) Blind practice
Practice without reference then check reference once finished
Review your work

5) Find helpful tools

6) Don’t spend ages thinking what to do
Getting into the practice session is far more important
Have specific things to fall back on if you have nothing you can think of to work on.

7) Healthy, balanced lifestyle will help
Exercise and diet helps focus and clear the mind. You can remember more when you are more alert and your practice has more chance of sinking in.

It's from GearBest
I use a graphics tablet to paint with and I can recommend this one for the price and responsiveness it's probably the cheapest of that quality as well.
