IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THE STORY OF WHY, GO DOWN A BIT!
So I've started my second year of college (In England) and I am doing INteractive media which is basically all sorts of design tasks in one course, I've done a little web design, advertising, issue awareness etc with all the paperwork bul that comes with it ofc...
This year we have to do an illustration of a story that happened in the news recenly, and I have decided to do a basic photoshop animation
[START HERE] currently drawing out a character in photoashop, which is difficult on a faulty laptop pad, but im gettin there
Thing is, after doing an outline of a feature, when I try to fill it in, theres a small white outline where it hasn't filled completely, (look at the eyebrow) is it because of the brush I am using or what?
I want all the edges to be neat and clear and coloured perfect, and make life easier not doing it by hand, any ideas? Thanks

set your tolerance up a little bit. You probably have it set to 1 or something.
Photoshop is a bitmap program, therefore whenever something is placed on a canvas it will have a sort of "flood" to make it look neat. You wont be able to see it until you zoom in really close when you realise it's there. If you have a 1 pixel brush, and you dot it in one place, chances are it will cover 2 or even 3/4 pixels, but only feintly. So what's happened here is that you've used the brush to draw it then you have 3 tones not the 2 you were expecting. You now have the black from the brush, white from the canvas and a light grey where the two meet.
So story in short, turn your tolerance up a little bit each time to try cover up the light grey.
