Interesting technique – but if You use the pencil to go around Your dog, You could also use a rubber with soft edge the same way. Works for me better and there are fewer steps : First cut out only the dog (mark, ctrl-c, paste from clipboard [background transparent]), so that only the important area is left. After going around the dog with the rubber tool, just increase the diameter of the rubber and erase everything else. Finished. Duration 9 minutes ;-)))

The best thing is, that it is exactly the same technique in GIMP, Paint Shop and every other program that has a rubber. I like GIMP since version 2.8 very much.

Just a thought.

Thanks Simone!
Btw. I am really enjoying the Hub Arts contest. It is awesome because there is something in there for everyone and it allows for so much creativity.
I hope there will be many more of these broad and creative contests in the near future.

You rock at this kinda thing too! Cool!
This Saturday I am gonna fish out that Adobe PhotoShop and Illustrator CD. Hope it still works. It’s well over six years since I last installed it!
What’s on my mind is … Cool Cat Art! Cheers!
