Another tutorial.
Make this icon:
Using PSP9
Note: No brush downloading is required. All aspects are hand done.



 -  Our base. (If your base is not black and white, just desaturate.)
-Select your pen tool and use the following settings.
 -  (Dot, WIDTH=2.00)
- Begin to trace on around your figure like so:
-  (I zoomed in. Sorry for the size) Your line does NOT have to be perfect. PSP9 fixes it.
-  Repeat this step in a different color as I have done if you like.
-  VIOLA! Your finished product.

*I hope this was easy to understand? I went through it fairly quickly.
*Any questions, go ahead and ask. I'd love to see what you guys made =)

Other icons I've made using the technique.
 
Feel free to use anyone of these icons. Credit, please.
EDIT: For anybody having problems with their lines, make sure your color setting's look like this: Image hosting by Photobucket

You need to make sure your secondary color is set to transparent. Hope that helps, I'm not sure how to explain how to do that.

[info]mitzoo

Hmm...I'm not familiar with PS7, but the one thing I can suggest is looking to see if PS7 has a tool similar to the pen tool (Or if it has the pen tool) and then go from there.

Sorry, I know I'm not alot of help when it comes to that. . . =)
