I'm not a pro by any means, but I think a few pointers might help.

1. Don't scan in as pencil. Most scanners I know really ruin pencil. Try to ink it,
Even if all you do is trace the outline. That gives Photoshop something dark and
crisp to hold onto when you erase the background.

2. Don't use lined paper. By the time you finished erasing all those lines, you had
already ruined most of the line work.

3. Once you get into Photoshop, there's tools to thickin the lines slightly
As odd as it may seem, levels adjuster helps quite a bit with this. Thicker lines
makes it easier to erase the background.
