i think first u should scan it with high res., then just clean it with magic wand tool ... (i mean highlighting & deleting) the when u have only outlines of your image u can copy that image into some layers and merge or stroke it with the same color... (of course u also need to work with eraser and pencil...) it's very very easy.. good luck ;)

I do not think the magic wand is the best tool for this. Photoshop has many color corrections tools that are much easier to do something like this. Scanning it bigger is better (always). But not drawing with blue on blue-lined paper is the best... :-) Black on white drawing paper is easier to scan and handle. 'postwork' is a bit of a broad terrain to just throw some tips around. What do you want to do with this sketch? Because that is also important to decide how to handle the dark background it has. Do you want to paint over this? Or do you want to print it on a birthday card or something?

I read through this one yesterday, haven't tried it yet. You can scan, clean & color your sketch. I agree with the others, scan at high res.

That is like awesome. How did you do that? Could you tell me the steps to do it? I'm really >< about it. thanks a million. P.S. Yeah i wanted to paint on it like add colour and stuff just for kicks.

I used a burn filter on the original to give it a stronger color seperation and then unsharpmasked it to define it a bit more. Then used the Polygonal Lasso tool to select all the negative space. Once everything was selected, I inverted the selection, copied it to a larger blank image. Placed it on a transparent layer over a white BG and filled the selection with black. I left a good portion of the lines heavy so you could fine-tune the edges. My pleasure. Stop in the tutorial section & check out my new tut for Foliage painting. Enjoy ICM
