Hi again,
Well I traced this and I think I can work with it, but I wish my style was not so uptight. I’d like to be looser and more expressive. I need to go and get some better pens. The ultra fine sharpie and brush pen I used here are lacking a fine and mid range. If anybody does graphic novels and knows the best pens to use please let me know – Thanks!

Ok. My husband draws comics, so I'm used to his collection of toys. He likes Micron pens of varying widths and the Faber Castell Brushtips as well, For markers, he adores Copics.
He usually roughs in with a harder pencil, and then adds details with slightly softer lead. If you want a sketchier style,try not smudging for shadow. Or, look at some of Frank Miller's Sin City work. Not loose, not sketchy, but awesomely noir-evocative.
See, you can draw!
Did you try doing pure black & white instead of color ink? Or filling in the background black? I have some images of storyboards from a movie called Drunken Angel that I'll try to remember to bring in...
