You're on the right track as far as the likeness! Neato.

If you've got a pencil yet, I'd recommend trying to sketch what I've put here in red really lightly, then building the image on top of that.
Rock!
I do like drawing with a pen.
I do most of it that way. The pencil is mainly used for what you just did.
Yeah. I will try to work on this ... today!
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Awesome! Don't worry about shading or any of that right now, just work on getting the lines right. We gunna build it from there!
I'll hit up some of you other fellas soon, don't worry.

Yeller, I like your line work. Thick to thins look great! How do you get that on a tablet? For me it's either a REALLY THIN or REALLY thick line with a hard time getting a smooth transition between the extremes within a line.
Essentially, I wanna learn to ink on the computer but am still a doof on it. So I'll just ask someone who does a good job!
Wow, thanks man!
Just practice and pressure! Working on a cartoon show where we exclusively use the brush tool has given me a lot of road-time on the tablet. I tend to draw fairly zoomed-in, and get a lot of milage out of Flash's "smooth" tool, mostly because you have to trick the damn program into doing what you want to half the time.
For the more extreme tapers * I tend to sculpt the ends with an eraser, it's easier just to overdraw the thickness a little bit then hack it down!
If you're drawing in Photoshop/Sketchbook Pro/Painter, zooming in to the point where you're looking at pixels actually helps a lot for getting the thin/thick control down. I'd compare drawing with a tablet to trying to pick up a piece of rice with a chopstick (zoomed out) and then picking up a california roll (zoomed in!). Much easier to get a handle on when it's bigger! It's not as aesthetically nice from a "working on it" point of view, but when you zoom back out, it works out really well.
Being able to quickly jump between zoomed-in and zoomed-out will let you check your work as you go!

It looks less like a Chinaman now.

It's ok. I am in the process of adding dicks to mine. I sure hope dicks are allowed in here!
