Okay, this has probably been answered before… I couldn’t find anything though… (don’t hurt me…)

If I draw something on paper, and then scan it into my computer, due to the fact that I don’t have the straightest lines, the drawing looks all jaggedy, and not quite straight… what would be the best method to making my drawing go from jaggedy hand-drawing, to something that looks like something that it could be in a cartoon, or something.

I’ve heard one method in which I could open the image in PhotoShop, and then use the Pen tool to draw all around the image. I tried this one for my Lil’ Reaper drawing I made (which is on the main page of my Server: [http://seifertim.no-ip.com](http://seifertim.no-ip.com) ), but it looked really off, and still not quite straight.

Everything else I’ve tried has resulted in a worse looking result…  
Would anyone like to share their techniques?
