Question, is drawing over lines like those, kinda like kids before starting to write, is a good idea practice routine?
(Made this for myself in Flash)
I know it's basic, but so I am + I'm using a mouse and my outlines aren't the greatest.

Yes, these are good, though I'd say it's best if done with a pen tablet rather than a mouse if your goal is to improve at drawing.
They seem basic, but try them. Easier said than done, right? Now try it with your arm instead of your wrist. Turns out a lot of y'all's fine control skills aren't as fine as you might think.
Does anyone have any advice for drawing hunched-over poses?

It's always gonna be "use references." Lots of pose resources out there; Maybe see if you can find the pose you want on Posemaniacs or Andorkastock, to name a couple.

Does anyone have a good tutorial on how to achieve a painterly look on a tablet? I'm struggling.

I rough-in the colour, then mostly use a blending tool to push it into place. Kind of like 2D sculpting..

That's typically going to require a combination of brush types and theory - I recommend going with the theory first and play with custom brushes much later.
This thread should probably be pinned.

Skoops and others have talked about this before, it would cause too many threads to be pinned, among other issues.
Someone please help me revive my clubs
Great example of how learning real things helps with designing not-real things
I've been meaning to post this here since it dropped but kept forgetting.
Not a Tutorial, but I think this is an extremely valuable video for this forum and thread specifically:

Dude with zero baseline artistic skill does Drawabox and Proko classes for 150 hours; 5 hours a day drawing for 30 days, and sees improvement, and enjoys it. Well worth a watch
