I consider myself decent at drawing and I'd like to make some prints of my artwork. Initially to give to family and friends, but if it goes well then I might try to sell some.

What's the best way of turning the original artwork, drawn with pen and paper, into a print, or multiple copies of that print? By "best" I mean decent quality while also being cost-effective.

Thanks!

Depends how big it is.

A good scanner would be best. If too big for a home one, may e use a bureau?

I’d try a good quality camera. I’d imagine the resolution would be better than a scan, but could be wrong.

Google giclee printing, send the artwork to the printers and they’ll do the rest.
