I gotta say, I actually like your rougher looking ink lines. They're less polished, but have a more...true feeling to them. More soul, so to speak. Plus the rougher lines work very well with the flow and shape of your drawings.

If you have not yet, give sketching in smoothed ink a try! Or even rough inks, it can turn out some deliciously chunky scratchy lines but they have all sorts of life to them!
