That's good!

If you want my advice, though, learn to draw some things for yourself. By copying other things, what you're learning to draw is symbols for things, if that makes sense, rather than actual things. If you learn to draw people from anime, for example, you'll draw a kind of shovel shape instead of a face, because that's the symbol anime uses, and you'll be super limited if you need to switch up the poses or angles at all. You won't know what shape an actual face is.

You've got some line control there if you can copy things, so how about next time you try to draw something from your memory or from a moving study?

Alright thanks for the advice I'll work on something and put it up here!

I like it, also the use of colours.

I'm not that good at drawing either but I like drawing as well. :)

Good advice, when I had some drawing classes at school we were never allowed to copy anything that has been drawn already. If we'd copied anything at all it would have been a photograph.

It's still good to built up some experience by copying in my opinion. If you can copy the Mona Lisa exactly as it is it would still have been an art and requires you to develop certain skills. I would have respect for that...
