I see little to no improvement among the three of them. I would have believed you if you said they were drawn on the same day. I would suggest drawing with a pencil and paper. You do not want to be relying on technology at this stage. Ideally, I don't think you should be drawing any kind of anime, and preferably real people to start, but you gotta have fun too. However you will be copying any of the artist's errors, so keep that in mind. If you want to be casual about it, draw all the anime you want. If you want to get serious, study anatomy and draw people in front of you, ideally not from pictures. Draw bones, muscles, hands, feet, eyes, the face, from every angle. That knowledge can be applied to future drawings, which includes the fantasy variety.

To be fair, the drawing skill level presented in anime has a very wide range. Personally, if you insisted on drawing from anime, I would suggest looking at Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra. Really inspiring stuff. The shows retain good anatomical accuracy and have tons of fight scenes where you can see the body in action from different angles.

A good book to read is Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, by Betty Edwards. It was written by an art teacher who over the course of her career analyzed how her students were learning. An EXCELLENT book and extremely valuable to an artist just starting out.

Anyways good luck, idk what your goals are. But right now I can tell you have a lot of work ahead of you, which will require a lot of self discipline if you want to get good.
