He's pretty good. I see you used Mike as a base, when your ready try drawing free hand. Once you've traced characters for a while it's very easy to start drawing free hand as you know how everything supposed to look. Are you using the curve and line tool? they're much easier to use than the pen tool to draw. Also if you colour it in using a different layer it looks much neater.

I did this a while ago for some people who wanted some basics on Sai if it helps, but I see you've already searched youtube for tutorials which is good so you probably already know all this. Good luck~
