I would say learning process never ends. But it depends upon you that what do you want to learn. Skills are the basic need in graphic designing, means Expertise of Making or creating those designs which can attract people towards them, is not an easy task. But nothing is Impossible too. You should learn how to use tools and how to create an effective designs using them.
 
You just need to keep learning, constant practicing, trying out new designs, just have to be very keen on learning and sharpening your knowledge on graphics.
 
It would depend on which field you are studying or practicing. For graphic design layout design principles are the most important thing. For example applying visual hierarchy, the rule of thirds and align your design within a grid. Also there are a number of tools that come in handy for a graphic designer, for example, the primitive ones like sketch pads, which required just a pencil to put the ideas on a paper and now there are better ways using advanced tools in computers, tablets and even phones that are full of apps with hundreds of tools that produce magical results with even autographical features that don’t require the amount of hard work that was once required in the field.

Have you ever completed a design and felt that I could easily design it? But, when the time comes, your design actions are not completed until the original version.

Don't despair, most amateur designers have experienced this. Professional designers are well-trained in the basics and roll up their sleeves to give their work a professional touch. In this visual field of digital media technology, it is much easier to design but they do not look professional and homely.

I'm also proposing graphic design, but I've learnt from my mentor that the most important thing is to be able to read your clients mind in order to satisfy them. This will enhance your creativity and give a wonderful results.
 
As a graphic designer, somethings need to be put into consideration while designing. You as a creative designer should have a unique or distinct style different from other designer. Your uniqueness only make you stand out in the industry. You should have your own style of working. Am a good example, am a graphic designer, I do have my special ways of making my design looks different. Colour combination, font, shapes and picture that portray a meaningful interpretation to the audience.

I am a self taught graphic designer too, I started learning from YouTube, watched a lot of videos concerning graphic designs, then proceeded to watch videos about how to operate some of the popular softwares for graphic design. Try YouTube, then download apps on your phone and work on it yourself. Apps like canva and Adobe photoshop etc.
 
If you learn it From beginning and you aquire a little knowledge about how to use the graphics design tools, you can develop your self and expert on it by keep practicalize it in time to time, the more you are working on is the more you will be getting more experience on it. Therefore, practical's making perfect.
 
I will suggest you get a tutor on that as that will fast track your learning process but if you can't afford one you can get some free design courses on udemy or better still stick to YouTube videos but note that the later will take quite a time to master. The only advice I can give is that don't stop practicing.
 
I can go on and on to mention important things to take note of in designing but first let me start with the most important of all...
Knowledge is the most important thing we have. A tool doesn't make you a better designer. Knowledge and understanding of design does.
After knowledge comes...
Message (what the design means, what can people decode from it, what is the hidden message you're trying to pass out to people.)
Hierarchy (determining what's most important in your design)
Placement/Spacing/Alignment (where/how you put things)
Color (how well can your color blend to give a perfect design)
Typography (use of letterforms and fonts.
 
They are also things you have to keep at the back of your mind or that you have to know when designing one you have to know how to blend or mix color different color portray different things likewise different shapes and also font also you have to be able to play around with fonts
