It won't be good until you start drawing stuff from your own imagination.

I actually have done that as well, just decided to only show the Pokemon stuff. XD

I think last time I said something like "You should try some traditional art" and you responded by saying you were really bad at it. But I still really think it could help you flesh out a style. Right now they're kinda lifeless and I think part of that is because you're only working digitally.

Well, I'll give it another shot. ^_^

Drawing from your imagination would require TC to draw upon knowledge that he has gathered from previous drawings, which he doesn't have much of. He is a beginner and needs to study value, lighting, composition, anatomy, perspective, etc. Drawing from life every day will help a lot. Targeted study, like drawing 100 hands in different poses, learning where the muscles attach, what bones are where and why that causes light to land a certain way on the human body, can help a lot too. Copying Pokemon or anything from a video game is not ideal. It's not useless..it's better than nothing of course. Just not ideal if he really wants to learn in a short amount of time.
You can draw from imagination as an exercise to test how much you have retained and to gauge your understanding.

This is probably not gonna help my case, but I have been drawing for quite awhile. Even completed a Cert III Interactive Digital Media course way back at school (2014/15) and before that did 3D art stuff as well, which getting lighting was far easier in 3D than 2D.
But yeah, for someone trying to get better at proper body sizing it probably isn't helpful to be working on fictional creatures, xD
