Hi darktiste, I took your suggestion to try and do a bit of shading and line weight using a pencil for my characters and I think the end result was a lot better and easier to read. Thanks for the tip!
Also, regarding what said about Watts, I couldn't agree more: confidence is the key. When I'm practicing by myself I can easily burn out because I don't know if what I'm doing is worth while or if I'm doing it the right way. When I take lessons from an expert at least I know he/she know what they are talkng about and has taught many other students and knows how to get results so I can just have faith in the process and follow it without fretting too much (that it if I have the discipline...that's the hard part).
Anyway just some more fundamentals work with Watts shading forms:
Last character in the set, this time shaded and line weighted a bit:
