I am frustrated by shaky lines, or having to spend 20 hours to make the lines not shaky.

i touch up a rough sketch on PS, make sure all the proportions are right and all. then print it out and put some vellum over it (it's semitransparent) and line away

that way the only stuff you gotta do on Ps is touchups

tbh i find inking digitally to be a pain in the ass even with something like a cintiq
I hear good things about Manga Studio.
As for tablets, Monoprices are hella cheap & have fantastic sensitivity
I think I wept when I switched from PS to Paint Tool Sai. I'm using a small old cintiq, but even with an intuos Sai was tons better than photoshop
I've heard good things about Manga Studio from my friend who publishes a we comic tho. He only uses PS in post production these days
tytaero: what digital programs have you used out of curiosity?

I am weeping now...this is all good advice. <333
trust me Ty, I felt the same way bc Photoshop is a bitch to ink in. But we have to remember that's a graphics manipulation program not a paint program.
It does light duty compared to other programs made just for painting.

I'll give it a shot :|a The only other program i've tried is art rage and I wouldnt use that for inking idk
I S2G I screamed aloud when I got into Sai and realized you could rotate the canvas like you would a sheet of paper
And even the default brushes are fantastic for super clean ink work that I could never achieve by hand unless I was working extremely large scale.
And I would KILL for Sai's select/deselect brushes in Photoshop.
