I'm not talking about drawing style, i'm talking about what made those pictures unique that you usually lack. In this specific case: how clothing behaves. You're very much used to drawing naked bodies and therefore when you draw clothing, they tend to be either form fitting or (somehow) straight as boards with minimal folding. Poses are nice, but they are a dime a dozen, If i had to learn something from that artist, i would concentrate on how clothing does <u>not</u> fit on the body: how it folds and crumples. That artist went into all of the folds that made the clothing feel very much tridimensional even when it should have been form fitting, because clothing is not skin and therefore deforms in weird ways. When you copied these you did some things better (like the weird arm which is thankfully normal looking in your version) but you lost what was the main key point to take from that specific artist.
