Step 1:
We will be be making the pig shown above. The outlines below have been resized a lot so you can see them clearly.
I have done the outline in 2 parts, we will be starting with the top half of the pig.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
NOTE: The outline is symmetrical so I have only numbered one side.
Open a new image 150 x 150 transparent.
Flood fill with white so you can see what you are working on. Delete this layer at the end.
Add a new Raster Layer.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size = 1
Hardness, Opacity and Density = 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#D2668A) and start at whichever point you prefer. I find it easier to start the highest point, in this case his left ear, as you look at him. (You can move the image later using your move tool if you need to).
Do all of the pig outline in that colour.
Add the eyes using the guide above and set the colour to Black.
Change back to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#D2668A) and draw in the rest of the pig outline using the guide below.
NOTE: The parts shown in blue are the parts you have already drawn from the first outline.
