: Drawing and importing hand drawn images into mobile game In the article about DragonBox iPhone game, I've read that: the dragons were all drawn by a fourteen-year-old girl I would like

A rough suggestion:


Drawing the artwork as line art only. Feel free to make some colour mockups with pens, pencils and paper, but colouring on the computer will be far easier and better (depending on the results you're after).
Make sure the original art is of a decent size and on bright, white paper. Depending on what you're after, A5 for a single character may be ok. Or just under A4 might be needed.
Scan in the line art at 300DPI. In Photoshop, convert to greyscale (or scan as greyscale). Apply levels or curves to get a crisp white and crisp black.
Possibly apply some sharpening.
Depending on what you need, you could convert the art to vector at this point. To do so, go into channels and command-click the grey channel thumbnail. Then, open the paths panel and click the top right flyout menu and choose Make Work Path.
You'll now have a vector path of the artwork that should be reasonably clean. From here you may want to take things into Illustrator for more work, or stay in Photoshop.


There's lots of ways you could do this, but I'd typically do something like the steps above.
