Air Juggling

A pic of Aang doing an air juggling trick for Momo. Colored in Photoshop CS2... not quite as detailed as some of my previous drawings, I'm kind of working on streamlining the whole photoshop-coloring process. So far it still goes as sssllllooowww as ever. -_- Kind of fudged a lot of the shadowing... and I'm not quite satisfied with the background color. Might change it, or maybe not. Lemme know what you think!

p.s. Does anyone know how to smooth out pencil or pen lines in photoshop to make them look less... messy and icky? I can't figure it out, other than using the smudge or blur tool... and that doesn't really work so well. Please let me know if you hava any advice!!
