(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best artist light boxes

Do that, but also get a lightbox so that you can trace the original really easily and do the 'final' coloring/inking.

Works great

Something like this should work well. I have one on the way, but it's not here yet so I can't give you any firsthand info yet. I'd sell you my fluorescent light box which I've used for DSLR scanning in the past, but the shipping would probably cost too much. :-)

I'm looking for a photography setup like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017SQL782 is there anything I should pay attention to when buying one? This will be for product and model photography, I have a Nikon d5100.

I just got mine on Amazon. Do a search for "LED light box" or "tracing table":

I bought this thing. It's USB powered, so you can plug it into the laptop with a long cord so you're not holding your laptop up in the air in the dark. I happen to have a field battery setup with USB ports so I don't even need to mess with the laptop, and I can take flats without moving the scope :)

I use a Testrite CS-4 copy stand bought used on eBay clamped to a desk, a cheap tracing tablet from Amazon, 4 2" steel spacers from a hardware store, a pane of glass (from a picture frame) on the spacers set off from the light source, and to hold the film flat I used a jewelry saw to cut a couple brass blanks into sort of neg carriers, back with craft foam. And then a macro lens (get a native one if budget allows, but it doesn't need any crazy specs. A longer focal length gives you more room under the lens for adjusting the neg). And finally Negative Lab Pro, because you will go crazy trying to manually color-balance the RGB curves if you're shooting color stocks.
