Learn all the basic shapes first

I think for amigurumi you just need to learn basic increases and decreases and how to make certain shapes. After that, it's pretty easy to create something new & novel.

Start with six stitches in your magic ring and increase from there depending on what your project is and what you are making.

It's as everyone says, you usually start with a magic ring of 6 sc, and then you increase to 8, to 12, or maybe you keep those 6 sc, it depends on the shape you want to crochet.
You have to try first and always write up your steps, try some patterns, see how they make straight shapes and what the increases and decreases do to the pattern, then try yourself, it doesn't matter if it doesn't end up being as you want, just unravel and crochet it again
Good luck!

I would say the most useful tip for designing amigurumis is the "increase-angle rule" (I've just invented the name):
- Keep in mind that one increase in a round makes an angle of 15 degrees, 2 inc per round creates an angle of 30º and so on...
- If you concentrate your increases in one side of the piece, you'll get a 15º slope x number of increases.
- BUT if you space your increases evenly in the round, you'll get a slope of 15º x number of increases on each side of the piece = 15º x number of inc x 2
- For example, 6 evenly spaced increases = 15 x 6 x 2 = 180º --> that's why you need 6 inc per round to create a flat circle
