Hi! Welcome to NG

First question: there isn't much you can do about your work being stolen. You can watermark it, but that won't stop persistent thieves. That's just the nature of the internet. Don't worry, those people will normally be called out. Fifth question, you should consider making a thread to post all of your art in. You can upload whatever art you want there, including work you don't think belongs in the portal. Questions 2 - 4 can be answered by more experienced artists on the forums. Use the search function to see if they were already answered.

Use this thread to help with improvement. Use the art thread you make to ask for feedback.

Here's a regular site that will get namedropped for artists asking about fundamentals (which I beg you not to skip. Future you will be very grateful). Click lessons and work your way down.

For drawing ideas and references, try Pinterest. That site is a lifesaver. ALWAYS use refs.

Try getting a manga you like and copy what you see. You'll get an idea of what the mangaka was thinking as you try to recreate a panel. It will show in your own work.

For someone who hasn't been drawing for very long, your art is pretty descent. It'll be fun watching you slowly get better. Remember not to push yourself too hard on your journey. Good luck on your exams :)
