I feel guilty when I do something with a ton of points even if I'm just gonna use it as a webgraphic.

It just feels wrong.

What you all say is true, but I like to process my inks with streamline before sending them back into photoshop...there's no way I'm going to trace over an entire figure drawing or composition with Illustrator, or draw it from scratch.

If your image is large enough (and it should be), Streamline can smooth out all the irregularties of a pen or brush moving over paper, or jitters in your hand, and give you a smooth, perfectly solid, black, scalable-to-any-resolution line that's perfect for coloring. I can't discount it entirely, since I find it great for that, and that's all it really does.

I agree that in this case, it would be best to draw it in illustrator, since Illustrator is suited to do stuff like that quite easily...however, I bet FPM is wondering why we're all going off on software, and not critiquing his work

It doesn't matter, just easier. If it's complex, then you'll need points accordingly and it can't be avoided, right? You use the pen tool for HUAD, or else somehow make the illusion that you do.

Illustrator is great for cartoons and comic strips.

I'm not critiquing his work. But it's not really all that complex as to download another program to do the work when it can be easily done in one readily available... it's up to him though.

To be honest, I like the pen tool for its unison look, but for something like sketching and character design (what you do and I try to do sometimes) I like pen, paper, and ink best.

Most personality.
