what I would do is draw your art in pencil, then trace over it on another piece of paper in pen. you can use a lightbox to do this (a box that glows so you can trace things more easily).

for pens I reccomend microns or copics ^^
that is too much work for an art!and i dont draw really well -_-'

Your options are:

1) Use a softer pencil or a black pencil crayon or a charcoal pencil. They all come out darker and easier to scan BUT harder to draw with. You can't rub out mistakes as easily.

2) Use pen. You just have to be brave and go for it. Accept that sometimes you'll screw up. But the more you use pen, the better you'll get and the less mistakes you'll make. Don't use biro. A cheap black gel pen is a good starting point, although fine detail can be difficult and it smudges a lot. Just go to a stationary shop and try out some pens. It doesn't really matter what you use as long as you feel comfortable using it.

3) Get a better scanner. But this is probably pointless and expensive

4) Colour it. I've done some pieces that were just sketches and then painted colour over the top and they scan just fine. Again though, you just have to be brave and go for it.

5) Give up pencil altogether and draw it all straight in pen.
well,3) 4) and 5) are impossible but i am thinking the first option.the 2) and 5) options are similar???o_O
