My question is, how do you get such a clean scan? I started doing all of my drawing in Photoshop because I always get this nasty yellow bleeding on the page, and the lines on the edges often look out of focus.
How old is the scanner? That could account for the blur. I scan at 600dpi then scale down, but I wouldn't recommend going THAT high. 300 may be best. And it gives you a nice, big scan to play with along with capturing more detail.
Its lid adjusts for sketchbooks, and I've never gotten yellow in any of my scans yet.
All-in-ones are a dumb idea, because if one part breaks, then you lose every other perfectly good part. A waste, in my humble opinion.
Does that mean you have a plus sized scanner?
This one I had to scan twice.

And this is my favorite of your more recent drawings
Why is 1 darker/more detailed than 2?
2 Seems like it would be the Pencilwork, right?
I dunno, just asking so maybe I can understand the art process more. :)
I've never thought of that, or tried it but I'm asumming that cleans up any mess within the lines where the colors goes..?
(goes to try it)
Always nice to see a how to guide once and awhile and try it out,
it really helps with the art, and since its from your perspective, It will probably help a lot~
Regardless, keep up the great production quality, good sir. The pros make it look so easy, which I consider you one to be. OK, I'll be quiet now. ^^;
