Than when I got one I'd put the sketch on my drawing tablet, turn off all the windows (layers/brush settings, etc), make sure all the edges are on the canvas and once again try my best to trace it. But nowadays I avoid sketching on paper, or try keeping myself from refining it too much, but if I really wanna do it digitally I use a program you can import photos into like Firealpaca or Sai.
This only really works if you don't mind losing a page of your sketchbook every once in a while. If you plan on regularly making your sketches on paper and than transferring into the program I recommend getting one of the notebooks with the rings that you can freely take from and put papers back into, or just keeping everything in a folder!
thanks for the input! yeah, i really only meant to do a couple concept sketches to get a feel for the design, in the future i think i'll try to keep it more loose
