You can use a polygonal lasso and fill, the pen tool and fill, or any other method you want to make the gray areas. I recommend making a new gray layer for each section that you're redrawing ;) You got it ;)

If you'd explained how to make a layer of gray that would have been excellent :) Thanks in advance.

For a 3000 px high Bleach raw, I'll stroke a normal line twice with a 2px brush. If it's a thicker line, I'll stroke with 3 px. Some of the finer lines and hatching will be 1.7 px with the line tool. I try to keep varying my lines with the raw, though, so the redraw doesn't wind up looking all the same ;) It all depends on which line I’m redrawing.

For brush stroke, what size do you use? For the brush, like 3 or 4? Just wondering, when redrawing the lines using the pentool. For brush stroke, what size do you use? For the brush, like 3 or 4?

Tt is located besides the trash icon. Or the quick way is using the shortcut Shift+Ctrl+N. :) rosemaiden:

But I have yet to see anything look half as good as a complete redraw. The best I can say is that some filters mangle line art less than others. Some people try to select the black line art on the grays, however this depends largely on the style of tone. If you have a plain gray, you can grab the black lines somewhat easily. But if you have gray tones that are made of black dots, trying to select black lines means you select black dots as well. If you can't do a full redraw, you'll probably have to decide on the best gray panel method for yourself depending on your series and your manga-ka. Good luck!
