This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Looks good!
Invest in a fine liner set going up to a fairly wide gauge, then you can work on erasing the pencil lines and replacing them with thick fine liner. After that the next step will be scanning them into a program like Krita, or Photopea, and colouring them. Then stuff like this gets a lot more immediately 'readible' to the eye.
Good luck!
What if I can't draw, but I would like to use Krita? So how to skip the first part of drawing and scanning.

Krita is also available for Android drawing tablets.
I dunno I kinda prefer analog, in a day when AI can pump out things faster and better than I’ll be capable ever, it seems more fulfilling.
Honestly, I don’t even like pencil and don’t use it. I know for construction and mistakes it helps, but there is something to be said for something permanent on the page. Also I don’t really like the smearing associated with graphite.
Legibility is something I am working toward atm. I am thinking of increasing it by using multiple colors of ink. Putting down a layer of a light yellow/orange/red for basic blocking, followed different pens with different size tips and various shades of ink.
Love it. Classic cartooning.
