Linework

One thing I've always struggled with is putting nice clean lines around my pictures (either before or after colouring), to the point that I -- well, I don't normally do it. Those of you who have a method, relevant links or other nifty stuff, please donate. Ta. :E

David, I am unsure what to make of your email. Do you have pets in the apartment or not?

Dear Helen,
No. I have a goldfish but due to the air conditioner in my apartment being stuck on a constant two degrees celsius, the water in its bowl is iced over and he has not moved for a while so I do not think he is capable of disturbing the neighbours. The ducks in the bathroom are not mine.

Some people swear by flash, other people by illustrator. Any sort of vector program is certainly one way to put a nice clean line around your picture but it doesn't always achieve what you want.

Links... are harder to come by... but I think Sheana might have a nifty technique. :)
In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.
