CattyN had written some tutorials... basically the process most artists follow is to draw your pic in pencil, and then scan it in and use photoshop to go over the lines and colour the image in.

What? no way :o It much faster and easier to draw the lines on paper with a fineliner, erase the pencil lines and color it in photoshop with the lineart layer on 'multiply'
You know, I draw often on the pc and it takes sometimes more than 5 ours for the lineart! When I draw it on paper I'm done in 1 hour or so.

That's exactly why I stray away from things like the 'pen tool' in Ps and stick to inking by hand. Easier and quicker, plus if you make a mistake you can always fix it in Ps afterwards. ^_^
Last time I used the pen tool was on that 'Konata' picture over on dA, took me close to 5 hours just to do the outline... the colour, that's another story. ^_^;

For as much of a time eater it is, the big plus to inking digitally is that it produces a much, much cleaner result. Selectable space becomes much easier to get, and with certain programs (such as illustrator, in my case), I can get all those lovely pen nib effects with the accuracy of mathematically correct curves.
PS: another upside to inking digitally, especially if done in a vector program, is that you can make the newly finished ink work very large for coloring without losing quality.

If you do it well with practise and patience, you can get a very clean result on paper too. Just play with the contrast/levels after you scanned it. Scans are mostly big. So you can after coloring reduce the size for best quality.
But I admit, mostly I draw everything digital. Too lazy to get some paper :P

Maybe you're the exception that proves the rule. I like vectorized art myself, and your style in particular is much more fluid and organic than most.
Nice to see that you're still posting here, BTW.

something i want to stress, though, that i forgot to in my original post:
you should not be worried about how long it takes you.
Yeah, we always want to skip through the hard parts as quick as we can, and get on to the gratifying parts, like comments 'n such, but one goes hand in hand with the other.
If you skip out on getting the best result you can achieve, especially on inking (cuz inking will make or break the picture), just because it will save you time, then what is the point? You've just cheated yourself.
My way of inking may take a good chunk of 2-3 hours sometimes, but it sure as hell makes good pictures.

I've been working on one where I'm inking it in fineline, it's taking ages though, usually, if I do ink it then I do it on photoshop... I do sometimes just leave it as pencil drawing though.
I'd be happy to give a few pointers here and there so give me a shout and let me know what type of things you're going for. ^_^
(also, maybe this should've been in the 'artists studio' forum) :P
