Here are some simple tips to improve comic book style drawings: 1) Don't be ashamed to draw from a reference. People who draw characters from memory are still referencing images in their memories. I used references throughout this drawing (with my own spin of course). 2) Sketch everything out in soft pencil before you take a pen to your paper (HB pencils are good). I'm just using the simple Bic mechanical pencils nowadays. 3) Use thicker lines on the outside edges of objects. Don't use thick lines for surface details like muscles or wrinkles. If you can wrap your fingers around something, give it a thicker line. 4) when coloring, you can either just use flat colors and depend upon cross-hatching with your pen work to render shadows and shading, or if you shade with colors, find your consistent light source and work from that light source with brighter shades of that color and work away from that light using darker shades. I would only use about three shades max on an object. 5) Practice. The more you draw, the better you will get. My problem is that I often go long stretches without drawing, and it's similar to not going to the gym for a while.
Congrats on the video!
