Scanning line art to pixel over?

[muunroc]

What would be the best way to pixel over lineart? Does anyone have a workflow they can share about? I'm using Gimp and Grafx2, but if your example is different software that's ok. If you have pics of a step by step process that would be great, or a tutorial on this. For now, the only thing I can do is post a doodle of a scan, but I haven't gotten the line width down enough yet for it to be sensible, so I'm skipping that. Trying to get a small sketch down to a 128x128 pixel constraint to pixel over is a little tough. How do you do it?

I found this thread here

Most of the examples are exactly what I am trying to achieve. I forgot to mention, that I am very new to scanning and pixel art. I'm not sure what size to make the sketches and what steps to use to reduce the image, and when to start pixeling over it. I trying to use Gimp to scan into and Grafx2 to pixel over.
