Yeah, I bought a tablet once, but it had extremely crappity pen detection, so I returned it the next day. But yes, when more disposable income arrives my way, most definately.

dancarter:
there's a way to do it without a tablet, very time consuming though.  the only time i ever tried is for the fan art thing i did here.  just make sure the drawing is clear of grey tones and smudges before scanning. use the burn tool set to shadows to darken them up.  after that, a medium sized soft brush eraser and the block eraser to clean up anything the physical eraser missed that the burning brought out.  i found this preferable to the brightness/contrast adjusting.  this way, by changing brush sizes on the burn tool, you don't lose any fine line work.

i was never a big fan of tablets, now i swear by one when i can get my mits on it.

my tip: don't use photoshop to digitally ink.

it's a great program for almost everything else (especially color!), but lines should be done in a vector program. not only is it hella easier to draw in a vector program (Flash, especially. you can smooth or straighten your lines with one mouseclick), but you can also resize the lines you make to whatever size you need without losing quality. this also means it's alot easier to edit the lines you make.

try scanning a drawing and then going over it in Flash with a tablet. just make sure the scanned layer is locked, and then draw away.

ElRodente:
but vector based programs generally make it harder to get it how you want what with the whole snapping into place thingy

i hate illustrator, but i have a feeling i will need to learn it

torg:
i guess you can turn off the 'snapping-to-grid'-function... at least you can in all vector-based programs that I know...
