I've found that it takes a little tweaking.. I first switch to
greyscale scanning, then tweak the brightness/gamma and color curve a
bit until the softer lines start to show. Then after scanning, I take
it into a graphics program, darken the lines a little, drop out the
greyish background, then tweak the color depth down to sixteen shades
or less (the human eye can accurately distinguish right around 15-16
shades of grey/black, but a lot more shades of green and/or gold).
Things still look a little rough, but fewer lines are left out that
way.
Sadly, even when I do that, my artwork still sucks. And all I draw is
stick figures anyway, so, well, not much point posting it here. ;)
