I draw the picture in black ink with a proper drawing pen (a pen used for ink drawings that you would buy at an art store). I then scan making sure your dpi is 300. I then touch it up in Photoshop - making sure to adjust the contrast to a maximum (this is the trick - and what causes the drawing to look sharp). You can then save it in a JPEG format at a smaller image size (which reduces the file size but would hurt the picture quality - as long as you don't make the file size too small). You can add the additional features, such as text and bolts in pretty much any photo editing software. I think the actual key is using good ink and adjusting the contrast properly. Let me know if this works for you.
