Being a beginner does not mean you should only trace. That's retarded. How will you ever learn to draw your own stuff if you 100% copy everything?
Copying is totally fine as an exercise, but unless you actually learn to draw on your own it's pretty useless.
Also "that's my style" is not a defence. You could call any error a "style", it doesn't make it right. It's not a style to shade with no thought to shape, that's just being ignorant. If you're choosing not to learn, do us all a favour and leave.
