Contours tips

Go to solution Solved by TetraSky,

By contour, you mean an outline ?
Kind of like this?

What I did was Select the entire rocket with the Quick Selection tool in Photoshop, then I erased it(while the whole rocket is still selected), right clicked, Stroke, 1px black. Gave an outline. I'm sure there are betters ways to do it, but I personally do it this way.

So just the outline of the rocket as a whole? Or each individual part or section of it.

An outline of the whole rocket could be done in a few seconds, but an outline of each individual piece would take some time, and a different method.

Well, what I would do then is just drop that png into photoshop, edit blending options, then select stroke on 100% opacity, and adjust color and size to what is needed. Is it cheating? Probably, but its easy, and would get the job done. Much like this.  The only issue is it is just an outline of the ship as a whole, internal details separating components is lost. The easiest, though still tedious way to get those internal details of components and their outlines would be to go in and trace over top of the rocket on a new layer.
