Here's how I get a piece of paper on my drawing board into a work of art:
First, I start with a piece of paper.

Then, I draw something (in this case Leo wacking the heart from Zelda with a bat).

Then, I ink it with pen and maker.

After that, I erase all the guidelines (weather you can see it or not)

And finally, I color it, scan it, and post it here.

And that's it!!
