Like said before; use Photoshop! I'm doing cartoons too (my sig), and I use the Pen tool. First select a color, and then make a shape with the pen tool. You may stroke it if you want. This one isn't really nice. -.-
Wow! I read it all and it's mega detailed... You helped me alot! I recently created a clan and it's going very fine (after 1 week 8 members already) I learned a lot from this and I will be using this in the future! 8) Thanks! Wouwousoft :wink:
