How do you get a patchy beard to fill in?
I recommend visiting a barber and working on a shorter style beard, as patchy beards are usually patchy primarily on the sides. A barber can make a fade in the beard and blend the patches in to make them invisible.
Tips on how to grow a full beard, fast?
I recommend using beard oil or balm to encourage beard growth! Also, make sure to take care of your skin by moisturizing, as this can help the process. I don't recommend using any products to that advertise faster hair growth, though, as these can damage your skin. A professional barber can always help you pick the best shape, the best length, and the best details for your personal situation.
I'm a guy who wants to learn how to cut my own hair
My advice when cutting your hair is to pick a simple haircut like a buzz cut. This way, you can use clippers instead of shears (shears are more challenging). Look for tutorials online to help you, and consider investing in a mirror that can show you the back of your head. Don't expect to get to barber-level quality cutting your own hair. But, I do tell everyone to learn to clean up their sides between haircuts to extend the time between barber visits and save some money!
