As you say you're an artist and very critical of yourself, you don't need to be told to use your eyes and learn to see what's in front of you.

To give a very specific answer to your very specific question my answer would be to learn the limitations of your camera (all camera have limitations) and once you are confident about what it can and can't do, work within those limits.

I cant remember who said it but the best advice I ever heard was "If your photographs are disappointing: Get Closer!" worked for me

You haven't told us what your camera is. Which is always a good starting point if we know what you're working with.

But.
Rule 1: Read your instruction book from front to back.
Rule 2: Read it again!

Get to know your equipment and shoot anything that moves, and if it doesn't move - shoot it twice. Get to know your equipment so that using it is second nature, then you can concentrate on what you're doing rather than how you're doing it. It doesn't matter how rubbish the images are as long as you know why they're rubbish and learn to avoid what made them rubbish in the first place.

Post your efforts up here and we'll give you candid, but constructive criticism.

Remember, photography is a journey, not a destination.
