Comments.Text: While I've posted generic suggestion as an answer it is best to just begin building something yourself. And once you encounter an issue you cannot solve or need some advise - post this as a new question with as much details as you have. Make sure to add pictures as otherwise it is basically impossible to help.

  It is rather opinion based, however I've got a piece of advice.
  
  General advice is to build whatever you want and as often as you can. It won't be perfect and top-level MOC at beginning (we all were there at point), but you will eventually get there, while learning following in the process:
  
  * what it is to build for yourself;
  * what kind of obstacles you encounter during your build;
  * list of parts you can use and their properties;
  * what colors are generally available for the MOCs you build;
  * what it is to work with certain scale;
  * structure stability;
  
  and so on.
  
  Next thing is to build other people's MOCs and study them. These are, sometimes, more advanced that LEGO sets. You can find a lot of free instructions on [Rebrickable](https://rebrickable.com/).
  
  I've specifically excluded any resources for advanced techniques as those are usually cool to look, but are very specific to particular use case. There are also no resources that list *all* possible techniques, because... there's no such thing as "all techniques" - something is being discovered every other day!
