Random suggestion: the best markers out there for blackbooking are prismacolors, copix and chartpacks. Prismacolors are far easier to find than the last two... They allow you to blend far easier than any of the cheaper style markers. For outlining i suggest .08 or 1.0 micron pens. Sharpies are dope and classic but they bleed too much. If you have a shaky hand it shows alot with those as well. Digging those outlines tour. I think when you paint them you should stick to a one color fill for a while, its way easier to cut back and clean up than if you go crazy with you fill. Some of the color choices you use dont really compliment each other very well. Id stick to some proven color schemes for awhile...white fills black/red outline...black fills aqua/green apple outlines etc. I think your stuff could be pretty decent if you clean it up a lil...at any rate, keep it up.
