Learn the line art on photoshop, you could watch a tutorial on youtube, that way you can change your pencil works to digital.

@TEENWEB: Nice post & appreciate the shoutout. It's cool you want to go digital from pen & ink just remember to always retain those traditional skills regardless. Photoshop isn't enough to do comics alone,Illustrator & InDesign are part of the workflow. When you said ToonBoom you weren't specific whether it was Harmony(for professional 2D animation),Animate(for 2D animation hobbyists),StoryBoard Pro(for professional storyboards for animation & film) none of their apps I know so far are for digital painting or comic illustration.
You can scan your pencil drawing inked with pen into Photoshop then colour up. A faster & more efficient way is using a digital tab that allows to quickly & fast in drawing apps of your choice that is compatible with either Wacom,Ugee,Huion or Yingnova brands. You find attached a picture of a wacom tab. Have look at these tutorials & links:

Tips & Tools For Lettering Comics

*Adobe Illustrator: Industry Standard used by the likes of Marvel,DC,Vertigo & Image comics etc. Also works superbly with Photoshop(photomanipulation/digital painting) and InDesign(compositing/final print layout) [www.adobe.com]

*CorelDraw: Not an industry standard comes in a close 2nd after Illustrator because it has tools & feature similar to the above. [www.coreldraw.com]

*Affinity Designer: Another good tool though with limited capacities for manipulation exclusively for Mac users [www.affinity.serif.com]

*Inkscape: Give it a try if you want an alternative [www.inkscape.org]

*Manga Studio: Great for manga style comics & lettering not so for all genres of comic lettering

Creating Your Own Fonts
*Fontagrapher and Type Tool [www.fontlab.com]
*Glyphs [www.glyphsapp.com]
