I am a sucker for sketchy lines myself, but it will come down to what you enjoy doing most. If you naturally lean toward the smoother lines, then I say stick with that. I would like to know your motivation for wanting to change.

Looks great! Lovely work, as always.

Thank you very much for the comments and watercolor tips. I was wondering if I could get your opinions on the style of the image. I've intentionally made the lines rough and sketchy and I've always been someone who has tried to get super smooth line work. Trying to decide if I'm going to keep the sketchy lines from now on or go back to the clean thicker line look like this example. Any thoughts?

Probably just a matter of taste. I like them both, but the sketchy line seems to have more life and energy.

I'm the wrong person to ask. I love a lively line!

The sketchy lines match your overall style better I think
More natural. The cleaner lines are maybe a little too thick ? And maybe a little too uniform (I would try varying the thickness of the line a little more, it would look more "organic")
-
I dunno. Both styles work for me, because your execution of all the elements are excellent. Like Kat said, it's a matter of taste at this point.

@evilrobot These look great! - i really like the slight ink bleed and feel it goes very well and looks natural with the textured background - this looks pro to me.

@evilrobot When I sketch it's all about the shaky line, but when I go to line my work I alway end up doing thick smooth lines. but I think you sketchy line style really works well.
