I usually doodle in Inkscape and make vectors but sometimes I work with GIMP or Photoshops and, well
I make a "skizzle" layer where I make a rough sketch (lines) in pale gray and then I refine it in darker gray. Once I think I can work with it, I create a new layer above it, lock the old layer (sometimes set it to 50% opacity to make it less visible so it won't distract / falsify the actual lines later) and make a cleaner drawing above it (or, when working with vectors, start placing connected points so I get a jaggy construct of straight lines which I then will fix up, make round and shape according to the sketch below).
Sometimes I end up thinking the sketch looked much neicer >:I
