It also helps a lot to just draw. Also, if you see someone who is using a technique you think looks neat, just try to copy the way it looks as much as you can to sort of get the hang of it. I don't mean, that you should like, try to make the exact same drawing, but if you try to adapt it to your drawing so that it still looks like it's done with similar techniques...
And seriously, as an art student, the only way you'll learn is just by drawing.
I actually used to draw a lot in the past; I have several notebooks stuffed with sketches, but unfortunately some things have gotten in the way recently... I feel as if I'm losing touch with how to draw well. I'm hoping that come summer time I can get back into it. But yeah, the way I learned to draw was actually by tracing stuff out of coloring books, since I never actually wanted to color in the book. lol =)
I know that feel, bro. I myself have long periods where I can not sketch a single eye for months because I'm so busy
Nonetheless, I'm rooting for and I hope you get to practice a lot soon enough!
And thanks bro! 
I wish I was brave enough to paint... Pencils for me! haha
