Julianne, as I'm sure you've gathered, learning to be the best artist you can be is a never-ending adventure and you've got a lot of work ahead of you. I've been producing professional artwork of one kind or another for over twenty years and I also feel I still have a lot of learning and work ahead of me, too. The most accomplished artists on this site would probably also say the same thing about themselves.
So, yes, there's a lot to learn, but don't be discouraged.
To the lengthy list of what Michael and Marvin have given you, I would add one more source of knowledge: museums. Marvin gives a lecture he calls, "Everything I Know About Art I Learned at the Met" (meaning the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York).
Go to your local art museum or visit museums whenever you travel to another city. Visit often, peer closely and copy if you can, for practice.
