Rough pen drawing
Steps:
Scan your rough pen drawing. If you have a scanner, scan your drawing at a high resolution. If you don’t have a scanner, you can take a photo of your drawing with your phone or camera.

Create a new layer and trace your drawing. Use the Pen Tool to trace the outline of your drawing. You can also use the Pencil Tool to freehand trace your drawing.
Once you have traced your drawing, hide the original layer.
Adjust the stroke weight and color of your traced drawing. You can also use the Stroke panel to add different effects to your stroke, such as dashes, dots, and arrows.
Add color to your vector art. You can use the Fill Color tool to fill in your shapes with solid colors. You can also use the Gradient Tool to create gradients.
Once you are finished coloring your vector art, save your file as a vector file format, such as AI or EPS.

Use a high-resolution scan of your rough pen drawing to create the best possible results.
Use the Pen Tool to trace the outline of your drawing for a more precise look.
Use the Pencil Tool to freehand trace your drawing for a more whimsical look.
