The sketch is great. The inking, not so much. The coloring is... well, could be better.

Instead of inking it by hand, try going into Photoshop and painting in the lines. You can undo mistakes and make it so the lines are smoother and more natural looking.

Plus, everything else on that layer is transparent. That's how you should color and how most artists color - the lineart is on a layer above the layer where they actually color - it removes that little white line around the edges of your fill when you flood-fill like you just did.

You should probably start off learning how to use the pen tool.  This appears to be a decent lineart tutorial, but I didn't do much searching. There's tons of tutorials out there that will help you learn how to fully utilize Photoshop's features to do what you want.

You can draw pretty well, and should learn the other parts to make your art really good. :)

Osmose pretty much summed it all up.

Yeah, your problem is definately the inking, but the sketch is pretty good. I'd focus on producing great line art before starting to colour the pieces.

The sketch is pretty good. I'm a fan of sketch art, myself, and prefer sketches to finalized, colored art. And that's why I bougt seven packs of The Spoils beta! :D

Now now, colored art can be done in a sketch art style. That's my favorite kind right there.
