Quote - lmckenzie - remember degas elite ? This image was made with that.

On Poser 6 or 7 the Banshee ship was a homage from on an old atari image as well!

That was hand drawn, but I recall hand scanner (B/W?) and  a scanning system that used a fibreoptic cable attached to a the head of a dot matrix printer!

*Still in the attic are pads and pads of sketch paper and tracing paper

• Mine are in the front room.*

Nearly all of my 3d models start off with a pen or pencil sketches. 
Scans , digimemo or the trusty  wacom. 

I was in the Amiga Camp myself, the copy of Deluxe Paint IV was awesome, though I didn't really get the hand of it myself.  Love that old school stuff :)
