What is your process for moving this from paper to computer? I always struggle with losing integrity of lines.

@Robyn Britt I really depends. Most of the time when I move to computer, I intentionally loose the line quality. I'm usually drawing clean vector lines.
For example, here is a sketch:

And the finished vector:

If I am trying to keep the line quality and general ascetic of the sketch. I usually just scan, play with levels, and pretty much use as is.
However, I have recreated this sketch style of work through vector with a number of Art Brushes, Styles, and Live tracing techniques. Below is a project with all the shots using this style.

Thanks so much @Ryan Putnam for taking the time to provide your insights and processes. Much appreciated. Your work is so original and an inspiration. I feel like I am still trying to develop my original style, which means I need to do a lot more experimentation and risk taking, especially with my sketches and different mediums to use.
