Ranma Beach Fanart based on 90s anime promotional art

I feel like the 90s anime had a lot of promotional art that includes Ranma as "one of the girls", beach themed stuff or like the doco album covers I don't know if people would get the impression that Ranma is supposed to be a guy that turns into a girl. Does anybody have any thoughts on that? It was something I thought of. I had fun drawing this though since I like character interactions. I think the lines are kind of unclear and I think the arms and hands look a bit weird. This may be the last Ranma art I post for a little bit since I'm working on my manga and its characters so I can share that in the near future.

Ranma Beach Fanart, also do you prefer with noise or texture or is it not really noticeable?

Clean or sketchy lines?

These are two pieces I did the last couple of days. The second sketchier one took significantly less time, as you can see its obviously a rougher sketch, to be honest though I kind of like it more. It could also be the subject matter in that its a character interaction instead of a pose. However I also feel like the sketch has a natural energy that I like that I struggle to replicate with inked line art. Obviously I could always clean up my sketch more. Please let me know if you have any thoughts. My aim is to do manga/graphic novels, but working digitally of course I'm not limited by the same constraints as traditional artists, which can be a good or bad thing.

How could I get better with my line art?

I shared the final version as well as my sketch to lineart steps. I felt the pencil sketch was pretty rough which is why I have an intermediate sketch. I feel that maybe my mistake was putting too much detail in the original sketch. I'm using Clipstudiopaint for this and used a pencil brush for the sketch and for the final it was the real g-pen. I feel as I went from the top of the canvas to the bottom I got a bit better at controlling the line thickness but you can tell me. I also went back over a number of lines especially on the outside and added multiple strokes of the real g-pen.
