Try to draw like that and then try again and again until you can draw like that.

I just realized this artist follows me, not sure why cuz my stuff is wildly different from his...
>How do you even paint like that?
you forget about everything you learned while drawing and start seeing everything in shapes

I can't comprehend how people paint. I can only think in solid colors and one light source. Anything more complex and my brain can't break it down. Like what's the color of her skirt? There's like 50 colors. Which one did they start with? You can't know.

You start with the base/undertone colour which can be hard to see without practice, let alone from imagination.
Getting the base colour correctly can be hard to do since you're training your eyes to ignore all lights and (sometimes) shadows from objects.
You can see it more clearly when you compare the OP's hair and skirt since they both use the same base colour. With the hair, you'll immediately notice how flat it looks with zero depth. While the skirt takes advantage of light shadows to build a rough shape and then adding light values to sculpt it more clearly, and finally going back with the shadows to refine it's shape.
You gotta do a lot of practice pieces before you'll get anything that looks amateurish and not like utter vomit garbage though
And when you do, you then gotta go back and practice different colouring techniques to emulate different textures and colour varieties

But it's entirely just like oil or acrylic painting as you just build off them, just easier from the lack of physical colour mixing and undo button

my paintings sometimes end up looking like that.
Use a charcoal brush to set up colours (paint over your linework as you do so!). After that, lower your charcoal brush's opacity and use it to add shadows, lights and render it a bit.
Quite simple, really
