Re: Hs 129 and outline
I think the easiest way to do this is as follows:
1. Reduce the opacity of the original drawing by 50%.
2. Create a second blank layer and lock the first layer so you don't accidentally draw on it.
3. Select the pen tool and blank the fill box. If you don't it will interfere with your ability to see the shape below it. Select line width. One pixel is a good width for most sizes.
4. Start at any corner point on the perimiter and chase the outline around until the path is closed. You may have to use the elipse tool to get the tail wheel right. All you do is cut the lines and nudge it into position. Click on the end point with the pen tool to reactivate the path. Carry on with the pen tool until the outline is complete.
5. You can now delete the lower layer (this won't delete your original copy) and eithe save as an .ai file or export it directly to Photoshop to continue work on it there.
The same method can be used to isolate wings, engine nacelles, etc.
