Thanks! I normally use a .02 or .03 micron pen for my linework after I have the pencil as close as I can get to what I want. I try to draw a little bigger than the final size will be so it tightens up a bit with shrinking. After that, it's just a matter of scanning in at 600 dpi, adjusting the levels so the blacks are nice and black, the whites are nice and white, and cleaning up a lot of little erroneous strokes in Photoshop. After I get it cleaned up enough for my taste, I run the dust and scratches filter at a tolerence of 2 pixels. Seems to work for me, but I know some folks have different ways of doing it. Glad you like the piece!
