always save your drawing every once in a while just in case anything happens to your computer. i learned that the hard way

@ Kitteh :3 - okay, at the top of the screen, there should be a square, click on that and mke a box around the picture. st the top of the screen, click the 'edit' button. then you will se many options, click on copy, then click paste, you can probably figure it out then...that is how I do it

Adding on to this: it'll make a new layer, right on top of the original. Use the move tool (four arrows) to move it wherever you want it, and then the square and [effects] [flip horizontal] if you want it to be facing the opposite direction.

when you are using thin lines like 4 or a bit more or less you wanna zoom in as much as you can saving you from messing up

the way I draw is,
I first make one new layer and so then there is 'layer 2' and 'layer 1' under it, I draw lines in layer 2, with the smoothing option at '40%', and use paint can to color in ALL the parts of the lineart, including repainting white in the eyes and filling the background in, then, once everything is colored in right, I go to 'layer 1' and pick the color black, then make the paint brush as big as it can be '200', and color every space in the picture, and tada! it gets rid of the white lines, and makes things look neater, IF you filled in all the white spaces in layer 2, whether or not you recolor the eyes white or yellow, you need to fill it in, or your character will suddenly have black eyes
anyways, that's how I do it, just thought I'd share

How do you make it look like you used a crayon?

How do you make it look like you used a crayon?

Pen size two (123 opacity) or Pencil 3 or 4 (100-ish)
Spacing anywhere from 5 to 20
Scattering 200 (I've used it as far up as 400, after that it doesn't look very crayon-y)
And then color like a little kid. Be sure to leave some white spaces.
