Applied Illustration: Sketching out first ideas

I did  a little bit of research into other artists before I started drawing out my initial ideas. I wasn't really sure where to start so I started with what I knew. 
I play the sims quite often and I just decided to sketch them and try to portray their personalities in what they were wearing and their stance/ facial features. 

After I played around with that for a while I made a very small comic on something that happened during the game play. From this I realised I quite enjoyed working with ink. The feedback for the use of the colour red and for using ink was quite positive. Although it was suggested that I try out gouache in order to loose some of the pencil lines in my work (as it is thicker and could cover it up better). 

Other things I had mentioned to the group was the idea of working with a more structured story, possibly something to do with greek mythology - The Odyssey or The Illiad
