I used Adobe Illustrator to convert line are taken from a cell phone camera into a tracing. It turned all the noise from the picture into black dots all over the picture, I erased most of it and tried to have the converted line art as accurate to the original as possible. I colored it using Photoshop layers and Burn and Dodge tools for some crappy shading.

What do you guys think? Should I change anything? Add? Remove?
I know live trace sucks, so I'll try doing it the hard way next time. Or maybe just replace my artist alltogether lol >.>
I would suggest not using only the burn/dodge tool to shade and highlight. Try actually picking the colours yourself. It'll look better.
also, try thinner lines.
