Well actually, I've come to learn that the paper you draw on holds little to no effect on the final outcome.
The technique I do to get my lineart done pretty much requires you to "trace" over the original sketch anyway. All you really need is a decent scan of the picture so you can make out the features clearly. To demonstrate what I mean, let's use my Darm picture as an example:
Original "scan" of the drawing. (In this case, I used my phone's camera. I lack a scanner.)
The same picture, converted to lineart using the pen tool in photoshop. At this point, you have nothing but nice crisp lines.
Final colored piece
I been working on a tutorial for awhile and if you guys want, I could share what I know with ya'll...
