How To Stop Being a Beginner:
Step 1: Set a goal
Success isn't a destination, it's a journey, the destination just gives you a direction. If your goal is just "To get gud" then try to narrow it down. "I want to draw waifus on /a/" or "I want to be tumblr popular". Even if its autistic, having a goal sets a direction for study.

Step 2: Do your fucking Fundies
Art Fundamentals (fundies) are vital, now WHAT fundies to study changes based on what you want to do, I'll link a video at the end that should help. But in short, drawing characters doesn't require composition, drawing landscapes doesn't require anatomy, so don't waste time studying it. This goes back to having a goal, it outlines what you can avoid wasting time studying and focus on reaching your goals faster.

Step 3: Mileage is King.
Look at >>1792217 , do that, every day. At least a page, also check out "Dynamic Sketching with Peter Han", you can find it online for free if you look hard enough. Those exercises help build confidence and are good for warming up, no matter what you study, straight lines, elipses, and curves are NOT optional.

Step 4: Fun Exercises
The most important thing is to never forget why you started, to create things. Take a break from studie every so often and do some fun exercises. One of my favorites is to put on an old anime or movie I've seen before and redraw designs or ideas that seem cool. Another one is to go to /lit/ and ask the writefags for descriptions of things and try to draw them (they will like it no matter how shit and most of them will jump to post their wrtiting and see it visualized)

Now get out there and get gud fags.
