Okay, I’ve been doing a few experiments using Paths in PS. This is nothing new but I have had a few questions asking me to explan. So I felt I’d lay it out here.

First I do a little sketch, like so.
(Sanford COL-ERASE Carmine Red pencil, 20045.)

Then I ink it. At this stage, I keep in mind that I want to close all the "borders" to make selections easier later. Also, when I’m "inking" the outside lines, if two sculpted lines that I intend to fill in PS later, get really close together, I try and fill them here at this stage as selection later becomes more time consuming.

(And just my regular Pilot Drawing Pen for the inks. I favour the 0.2 nib)

Okay, you need to add a new blank layer.

Then go to the Channels tab and hit the little dotted circle. This will select all the negative space, inverse your selecion (cntrl/shift I).
