YES.. it is.. The best way to do it ( just my personal experience only ) is to draw what ever you want on paper first ( a draft ), then photo stat/copy it on your computer, then bring it in to Photoshop. I would have a fill layer of color below your line art , and Lower the opacity of the drawing/line art so you can just see the line art, The fill layer will allow you to see the lines you create better when you trace over them , you can always delete the fill layer if you wish and just use the drawing but i find it more easy to work on top of a color layer when tracing the line art and filling in colored areas.
The first thing you will need to learn if do not have a graphics tablet is the pen tool for this type of work, then use the fill or stoke options when you have created the path.
Get to know the brush presets for use with the pen tool, for instance you can use a solid brush to make the dots, you would make the path you want the dots to follow then stoke it, the brush presets will allow you to use spacing and flow etc to give the affect your looking for.
The same go's for stoking the path when creating the lines.
Give a whirl. its all trial and error until you get use to the pen tool

Thank you inkpad , i will be honest , i have been familier with photoshop for like a month , i'am catching up soon , but mastering the pen tool will take some time , my secound confession is that i hardly can draw a stick man (thats y i rely on automation tools in photoshop) . So would you still advice me the same ? or is there another way around ?
and Inkpad , thank you so much too .
