dirty is fine, when it looks like it was intentional, but when it looks like bad technique... thats not the look you should be going for.
Ideas on how to correct this:
your black outlines seem to be seeping into the colours around it, which is fine when theyr colours that work together, like reds and blues.
but blending black with yellow, or skin tones, never looks good.
If youre gna use outlines, keep them crisp and defined.
use a different colour for the shadow, the shadow wont always be black, in this case, the visor is yellow, so a darker shade of yellow, orange or even red, for the shadow would work better.
If you think that your work looks too clean after that, find other ways of grunging it up.
more realistic shading would do the same thing
