to answer, allow me to detail my completely unnecessarily long artistic process for making comics:
1. Begin panel layout. First I mark margins on a sheet or cardstock with a ruler and pencil, for .25 thick gutters on all sides.
2. Pencil sketch the comic art. This is done in pencil (mechanical) and tends to be really messy because stuff smudging everywhere. also do the dialogue and bubbles at this point. This is where the aforementioned second comic is currently.
3. Ink over pencil with one of them high quality ball-point roller pens. Fix errors and make small changes.
4. Use AutoCAD to make mathematically perfect panels, with the same dimensions as the pencil/ink draft. Yes, I use a professional engineering and architectural design programs for easy panel layout. Bite me. This is then printed onto standard letter paper.
5. Trace the pencil/pen draft onto the standard letter paper printout with pure ink. Small changes are made again, dialogue is omitted. This is the final ink draft you see in this thread.
6. Digital process begins. I make a high quality scan the final draft as a .PDF and make a separate folder on my flash drive for the page for all its files.
7. Import .PDF into InkScape and start with panel layout again and dialogue/bubbles. This is the current WIP you see in this thread.
8. Here on is theoretical, though it's not especially complicated. I then just finish tracing over the actual art with normal vectoring techniques. Some things are done with my tablet, like the blood effect in panel 7.
9. Publish online, here and on the website.
10. I print out a copy for myself because why not.
...that turned out really long. maybe i should stick it into the OP.
