your presentations are nice and clean and definitely for a design sheet/turnaround the symmetry is ok, you can add some little things like a little change to the hair shape, or an earring on one side or something to break that a little. I do agree that developing the skill of drawing a symmetrical character is useful (all drawing will be useful!) but it's all good!

I also don't see anything wrong with exploring characters/creatures/props all at the same time, it's all drawing and designing and will all be useful! Specialise later if you find that one thing you love (I wish I could find whatever that 'thing' is that I love enough to stick to it!). If you look at an artist like Nathan Fowkes who designs environments, his figure studies and portraits are also incredible, he certainly didn't pick environments only, all the disciplines inform each other!

Also heard some disappointing information on a podcast about character design - it's actually the position with the fewest openings, and the highest number of applicants! Everyone wants to be a character designer! Not that that should deter you, but it made me think I should focus on other areas in addition to characters.

You're doing great man ^^ keep it up : D
