So you might be able to learn a bit about design commonalities from drawing pokemon heads but it'd probably be more productive to take a pokemon you like or design elements you enjoy from one and do something of your own with it. It's fun to draw pokemon, I know, but a good question to ask yourself when copying something is "Am I learning something from this?" and then "Am I using what I've learned in my own work?"

Copying for the sake of copying is all well and good until you reach a level of skill where it's not an issue anymore, but after that I would argue that it's best to gear your studies towards problems you're struggling with.

Good luck.
