I have yet to work out how to vectorise something. Or, indeed, draw nice clean lines in PS. One day I might have an epiphany similar to yours... LOL
All I can say is, this was time well spent.

I can't draw/paint in any digital program. EVERYTHING gets hand drawn first. PS and AI are just tools to make shit look shiny to me. Once I drew/scanned/level-corrected my original drawing in PS and saved as a jpeg, THIS is how I vectorized the linework:
1. Open file in Illustrator (must be LARGE)
2. Go to Object > Image Trace > Make and Expand
3. Go to Object > Ungroup
4. Click off canvas then select background and delete
5. Select all elements together (use the black arrow tool and draw an invisible box around everything) and the Object > Group
6. Press Ctrl C in Illustrator
7. Open PSD file, press Ctrl V to paste, select "Smart Object" when the pop-up window appears
8. Resize as needed
It's a great trick to know, but as I said, the image needs to be large and you will lose some finer detail in the process.
