Hello!
I am new to owning a bonsai and I'm very excited!
This is Handa and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how he looks and what/what not to do.
I've been checking his soil every day and watering him when it's dry. Which turns out to be every day or every other day. I keep him outside in a semi-shaded spot.
Thank you

If you keep this plant inside for much longer it will be dead. Get it outside where it belongs, it is looking quite sick already.

This is essentially a young juniper without significant bonsai training. If you'd put it in a nursery pot, it would just look like any other common nursery juniper.
The tree currently cannot be considered a bonsai. It will take years of study, practice, growth and training for this to become a bonsai.
Could be the lighting, but the plant doesn't seem to be in optimal health.
The soil looks far too wet.

AUK is spot on.
To answer your age question I would guess 3-4 years old and grown from cutting.
