I did it with a combo of layers and then erasing on that layer, so it would butt up against the pencils nicely.  The rest was done with a brush tool, the multiply allows me to cover all the space without eliminating the pencil line.  Its hard to explain, maybe someone else can explain it better or your own experimentation will help.  And I'm not quite sure what the terminonlogy in Painter is... it might be called something else.This is a photoshop term.  In painter, you actually have watercolor brushes.  They pretty much do the same thing.I hope this helps.  I find this very difficult to explain because it is second nature to me.</blockquote>
