I draw them by hand, scan in the line drawing then trace over it in illustrator so I have paths to work with.then I normally copy it into Photoshop and do the colour there. How about you?

You don't really need to redraw in Illustrator if you are going to colour up in Photoshop.
Just draw up, scan, open in Photoshop...muck about with the levels. Change line art level to Multipy.
Make new level then colour up. I can email you some nice brushes if you like. PM me.

Only make Illustator line work if working up image as a vector.

There you go....give it a go.

Im not sure if you're doing it manually or not, but tracing linework in Illustrator can be done instantly with Object > Live Trace > Make and Expand.
It often helps to make hand-drawn linework look a LOT smoother, I've started using it quite a bit before taking it back to photoshop.
