Thank you for the comment.  Its a tough thing to learn with ink drawings.  How loose to be.  Its a bit easier with pencil drawings because you can always erase some lines.

I actually didn't even realize you only used ink! It makes it even better

Well my drawings start with pencil, even if I ink over it.  Most of the time I will erase the pencil, so only the ink remains.

Ok I got you Drawing traditionally is an overall unpleasant activity to me as soon as I consider the outcome. I enjoy the process, but I can't seem to manage to detect the elements I'd otherwise change before it's too late. I miss the horizontal flip ability.

I've never drawn on a tablet or digital media, but I think I use a similar process of doing things in stages. I sketch things out and then transfer drawings to bristol board using a Lightbox.  I ink with pens and brushes, which are pretty permanent, but I can still use white out to male corrections.  There's quite a few artists that do there preliminary drawings on a tablet then print out the sketch in order to ink their drawing with pens or brushes.  But at the end of the day in comics, people only see the printed image, so it really doesn't matter how the image was made as long as what ends up being printed looks good.

Well traditional art does have both a financial and a personal value that digital art doesn't have. But since it requires either more skills or more time to reach the same quality, I guess it's justified
I like the idea of sketching on a tablet and inking it traditionally though!

There's a lot of tutorials on youtube with people showing how to print out the sketch as a blue line and inking over the blue line sketch.  Theoretically, the blue lines don't show up when you scan the image.  The scan should just pick up the black ink lines.  I've tried it before and it works pretty well; mostly because you don't have to erase the pencil lines.  But it is a little difficult to see what you're doing because the blue lines look odd.  If you're not used to it I guess.  But definitely worth looking into.
