4. how long practice did it take you to make pro looking layouts?

1. The best way to get experience is to practice. Tutorials will help you get used to the tools but you shouldn't only rely on tutorials.

2. ??

3. Again practice helps as does trial and error. Also sites like http://www.colorschemer.com/schemes/

4. I've been making layouts for about four, maybe five years now.

http://www.colourlovers.com/ is easily the best place for colors codes.

When I started using PS, pixel2life helped me allot, I bet they'll help you as well:

4. After a LOT of practice.

Practise a lot learning the tools, get a idea of what colours you think look good together, as we are all unique we all have our own unique ways of doing things so perhaps come up with a unique style, afterall styles that look similar arn't great because every designer should be original. Buy by all means do take others people work into consideration so you can contemplate what styles are good for you and which direction you want to take.
