The next lesson I'll show you how to scan the contours and separate them from the background, how to create a picture in anime style, looking like a vectorial one.
All that you have to do now is to open a pictured by hand character's contour in a new window: File ? Open (ctrl+o). 
Applying the next selection, Image ? Adjustments ? Curves (ctrl+m), clean the picture the way to remain the contours only on it.
Using the Brush Tool of white color, paint out all the unnecessary lines, if it is necessary the new drawing too (setting the same size, the contours have). Use after that the command: Image ? Adjustments ? Threshold.
Get to the next menu: Select ? Color Range and make a click on the white background, just to mark it out.
Erase then the marked region (ctrl+x) to remain only the black contours. Next step includes creating a new layer: Layer ? New ? Layer with the fast button on the Layers window. Move it under the layer containing the contours and paint the doll with the basic colors. Every color must be inserted on a new layer. Choose for this the Brush Tool.
Determine now the light's direction and create the background's layer (paint it with Paint Bucket Tool)
