I have a very interesting question to ask you. How exactly did you sketch this guy out? To me, it looks like you used broken scratching, which is where you make small sketch lines to form a continuous line. While there's nothing exactly wrong with that method of sketching, some of the guys on the VG Resource prefer sketching with more complete lines. That way, you can actually feel the curves and are a lot more loose with your drawing skills. Also, it wouldn't hurt to use your full arm to sketch things out as opposed to your wrist.



Even though I'm probably not the best at this method myself, this drawing is an example of what I more or less mean. I understand that you'll lose a fair amount of control over your line and the results are quite messy, but those two things aren't exactly all that bad. Personally, I find it best to make multiple passes over the same stroke and partially erasing a few lines as I go along. That'll ensure that you'll end up with a clearer final sketch with a little room to experiment.
