Albacore,
I use to be a technical illustrator my first job out of college. IPB's, isometrics, perspective, schematics & an occasional painting or full color design. Mostly B&W, so Line work was always a major thing for showing depth or contrast. I tend to see things a certain way coming from this technical background
Overall your drawing is good & I like it. Nice feel, very happy & light hearted. Technically, there is a slight inconsistency in your line work. (ex- the bold wheel lines vs. the ultra thin character outlines.)
But don't get me wrong. What you've done has a certain feel that works. I like your colonization in the design. You captured that loose feel. I have a diffult time using the tablet as well. Prefer the mouse to the tablet 95% of the time while drawing in Xara.
Keep on drawing!
