@Ninja: I don't think a ballpoint pen can really match the quality of the strokes of a good marker. There's a lot of inner scratching visible and while the lines have similar weight to the original they feel flat. It might be good experience to experiment with something that has natural weight variance, like a round tipped marker or even a brush with ink if you can find some. Also, you'll probably get more out of it if you don't just trace the pencil lines and actually copy it by eye, like with life drawing. Lining alone is useless if you don't have a good base to work from and don't know how to work from it. It won't be as perfect as you might want it to be, but that's why it's practice.
(Also, it might be nice to link to the original artist if you copy something and all that jazz.)
