I've been drawing since I was 5 years old. But I never used pen on my work because I was afraid I would ruin the entire picture.

Do you guys just outline and cover up the pencil lines with a pigma micron or some other special pen, and how on earth do you shade when using a pen like that? Also do you have one of those expensive art programs that enhance your drawings perfectly?
Unless i can download an art program that gives similar results like photoshop or painter then I guess I can't buy it.

- thanks for your time

for some good tips on Inking I recommed FARP go to the art and then inking.

There are different methods if you are afraid of inking direct onto your pencils.
I used to scan my pencils in and printed them out in blue, then I just inked the print out. You can do the same with a copy-machine or at a copystore.

Another method is a light-box/table, basicly this is a glass plate, with a light under it.
Simple place your pencils on the glassplate.
Put another sheet of paper over it and trace the pencil drawing on the new sheet.
Now ink the new version.

Also some people use tracing papers.
