Although even better might be to point them towards live/photo reference. I used to be an inexperienced artist as a kid, and at some point I imitated the style of some comics I read back then, and that led to having to unlearn a bunch of stuff later. And I had it less bad than many of my peers learning to draw (at least I was bright enough to avoid those ugly "how to draw manga" guides). Imitating pre-existing styles gets "safer" once you have some experience on your own, but using that as a primary basis in early stages of learning can easily lead to lacking originality while copying someone else's mistakes. Plus the copy-of-a-copy detail loss effect.
Kind of a pity that lots of live/photo gesture drawing references found online tend to mainly feature thin young women with "classically beautiful" proportions, and probably posed in weirdly sexualised and utterly impractical ways...
