I just kinda' discovered this myself as a friend of mine, who is great at inking/drawing is working on a children's book and has these really great ink outline drawings that were being color-penciled in. When we looked at them it was suddenly obvious that the color pencil/ pen outline just didn't work. She's scanning them now and playing with them in photoshop, and with watered down acrylics. I haven't tried this myself but I think you do a pencil outline of your line, lay down the watercolor semi transparently and after it dries you put the ink lines on top.
