For months I've been agonizing over a way to hand draw, scan, CLEAN, and color images in MS Paint. Garbage pixels was the problem between scanning and MS Paint's inability to do a clean JPEG. I got an idea some time ago, then tested the theory today.

Scan black and white

Save black and white.

Copy the saved image of the outline and past in an untitled MS Paint window

Color to heart's content.

In the past cleaning garbage pixels too me hours, literally hours. It was tedious.

Now, I think I can get in a position of getting comics together at a quicker speed, without relying on cheats such as the Gaia avatar system. Which means I might start up a steady comic in the near future. The art won't be the best- but hopefully it will be worth its weight in smiles.
