Second scene lineart comparison

I finished the lineart for most of the second scene (pages 7 - 10) which I originally had a fair bit of trouble with back when I was storyboarding my comic:

As you can see, it's kind of hard to make out what's going on in the pictures. In my eyes they barely even look like pictures of a forest. The original lineart was ok (if hard to make out), but it was passable enough for a storyboard. I decided to shade the background though and I felt like I ruined the whole thing.

Here's the final lineart for these pages:

For these I used a brushpen instead of a fineliner and the difference is phenomenal. It's still relatively hard to make out what's going on, but with the addition of colour that problem will be negligible.
