thanks,
that was a truely ingenius answer.
i am aware that a scanner MUST be used, but which program would be best for editing and filling in the drawings.

Adobe has a product called Streamline which exists just for the purpose of converting (presumably hand-drawn scanned) raster images into vector graphics which can then be used in Illustrator/PS and other such packages which can operate on vector-based images. They have a free download trial version, check it out:
Adobe Streamline
If you want to manually edit the raster image at the pixel level, you can just use Photoshop, Paintshop Pro, or any other graphic program on the image saved from the scan. Of course you'll have to do some manual cleanup before the image is fit to be digitally-inked/filled.

Do you mean a computer painting/editing program? If so then either Adobe Photoshop, Jasc Paint Shop Pro, Corel Painter, Micrgrafx Photopaint, or MS Paint if your desperate...
Unless you mean something like Ulead iPhoto Plus?
I see you already got your answer.

Warning, it is not a easy task.
-pencil drawing
-ink drawing
-scanner process (have some tricks)
-retouch the colors, i use some equalizer process to generate black and white colors. Now convert the imagen in 24 or 32bits colors.
-streamline (avoid it).
-use magic want to add all line. Then copy the imagen selected by magic wand and you have a transparent copy of this.
-Create a copy of layers about it.
-Create a new layers it is for colors and fill.

There was a good tutorial posted in this forum a few months ago by "ahw". Here''s a link to it:

I think there were other good tips from this person also. Probably want to do a search.
