yea in photo shop illustrator, i use a tool called live trace.
It makes my lines look a bit smoother^^. Its kind of a cheat but i need it so hush!
Well basically i start out with raw materials, pencil and paper.
Draw something. Then ink it traditionally. I use micron pens.
When ur done, scan it into the comp, open the image in illustrator. I use cs2 btw.
Then select the whole image, go to object and select live trace. Press ok for anything that pops up.
Presto, ur done^^.
But u should make sure all ur lines are connected, it will help when ur toning...trust me....
u can check this by using live paint. follow the same steps for live trace but select live paint instead.
Live paint allows u to select areas in the drawing to color, if there are any openings, u will see ur whole drawing leak out a certain color all over the place through the cracks....
If yall dont understand this, ill explain it better when yall come over ^__^
