Less of the line... (Work in progress)

Taking more inspiration from 'Little Thief', I am trying out drawing a character but eliminating the strong black outline I use on all my character drawings:

1) First I did a rough line drawing

 2) Then I refined the line so I could begin the colouring

 3) Then I coloured in the character including all the lines

 4) Then I added a belt and some more detail

 5) Then I finished all the shading and highlighting
