Hey, there's an attitude that'll make people want to submit constructive criticism to you!

No one's telling you to change earlier strips (although if you WANTED to, I doubt anyone would COMPLAIN... this goes for anybody, really).

It's good that you're going to try inks, though! While there are some people that can do fantastic pencil illustration with even the lowliest Bic mechanical, their numbers are few. I know I'm certainly not one of them.

As for shading stuff with pencil, might I suggest a different kind? It looks to me like you're using a regular #2 or a mechanical: this does not typically yield the best results, especially if you're using a mechanical. Mechanicals work well for roughing out lineart, but for shading, it's best to use a softer-lead artists' pencil: generally, the softer the lead, the more even tones will typically turn out (but softer lead also limits your dark shades, of course).
