My problem is that when I scale down my drawing, the line weights stay the same, blotting out the artwork. If I scale up, the line weights become too thin. I've noticed that parametric effects don't scale together with the drawing.

How do I scale drawings in Adobe Illustrator and still maintain the proportions of line weights, gradients, and effects such as offset path?

Another option is to select the object and go to Object > Path > Outline Stroke. Of course this is only for paths. And btw I would go with lawndartcatcher on this one, my proposal is just another option to have in mind.

After you have finished the drawing, select it and go to "object -> expand. This will mantein the same proportions you have when you scale it.
