I use Corel Painter Essentials 4 along with a Bamboo tablet. Sadly, I recently broke the pen that goes with the tablet, and it doesn't work well. Until I can get a new one, I'm stuck to paper and pencils.
Speaking of which, I drew the lines with pencil, got it scanned, and colored it on Corel, which is probably why it's not sharp enough.
Thanks for the help Smile I'll work on it when I have a pen again, because I really hate drawing with a mouse TT_TT

Well, can I suggest that you scan your art in black and white (if corel can't turn it black and white- not sure of it's features), and working from there instead. If you want to knock back the black, turn it a different colour after making it pure black so that it doesn't have the antialias (where one colour gradully changes into another rather than have the pixelated effect.) This will stop white on your edges. The other thing is scanning at 300DPI and shrinking it after you colour is good if you want to have the soft edge effect antialias gives. [thumb28958] This has an antialias effect. IF you shrank on a pixel by pixel basis, the program would delete a heap of your dots, but not add info which can lead to alot of information loss in objects with thin lines.)

Also, try inking your art- even with a ball point pen. The more you can help your scanner do it right for you the better.
