I mainly make the inking with single lines per body section (one line from hand to elbow, an other from the elbow to the bone or muscle of the shoulder etc.) because I don't like the messy lines drawn with tiny, unsure movements which makes the shape look "hairy". It needs a lot of attention and practice of course. Mistakes which stand out are erasered in Photoshop later. I usually use Pigma Micron pens (as they are the ones which are available here in a modest price and their ink dries fast and doesn't flow away on or strike through the paper), 05 or 08 size for the main outlines, 02 for eyes, face expressions, background etc.
I usually don't use mesh of lines as shadows or black objects but surfaces(spots) of black - that's what I don't use on every picture, sometimes I draw shadows only for representing little distances between bodies or I use them as simple signs for the connection between horizontal and (for example) vertical surfaces (like a man standing on the floor, and I draw a moderate-sized oval black spot under him but not the exact shape of the body like in real life). It is quite subjective that which method do you use. It's not sure the one I use is do well with your figures and drawing style.
I had problems sketching with simple pencils as they made nasty spots and lines after scanning and making black shapes more intense with PS as you cannot eraser them perfectly because it may hurt the inked lines. That's why I use light blue colour pencil to draw then I can easly remove every thing from under the inked lines in PS - Image menu - Adjustments - Black & White by remove blues and cyan. After it I use Image - Adjustments - Curves to make blacks more intense which you could also use on your pics.
I don't know what else to say, maybe I can answer if you ask some concrete questions.
