When drawing more cartoon like you have to exaggerate alot of the curves and stress certain lines that need to be shaded in a certain way or else disturbs the harmony between the negative and positive space. Now there is the ability of adding whats called "Character emotions" usually a teardroplet when nervous, or a pink or darkish red scribble across the nose depicting a flustered, slightly embarrased emotion.
Drawing lifelike, it tends to be a lot more easy as the skeletal form, or the basic strcture is easier to draw and manipulate. I like the way that the final outcome looks more real and appeases all the senses. Details on shading become the worst hassle when it comes from real life cause there are so many colors precieved by the eye at one time. Also if you take a look at it, it takes more time to do (of course depending on the artist.) but lifelike seems to be less off a challange....
Now when it comes to making things, anatomically correct, well its to the preference of the artist whether he or she wants it nude, or cloathed. I wouldnt mind drawing something that is newb, but when you add things, unless its micro macro, dont go insane with booty size and other such, it takes away from your art, but if you keep all your art the same, why not? :P
Clothing on Digimon is a fun concept in my opiinion I think iy could lead to things getting funny pretty quickly :D....well
I hope that answered your question and as for the poll I needed the other category.
