Easier-to-manipulate templates?

[TheKevinShow]

I like using MSPaint to draw stuff (take a look at my website for my college football uniform work to see what I mean) and I've found that most, if not all, of the templates on this site don't lend themselves to simpler manipulation. With the understanding that they'll lead to lower-quality designs (I'm ok with that) does anyone have a set of aircraft templates that are easier to edit?

What I do is to use a program that supports layers (e.g. GIMP). That way I can fill colours in independent of the lines on the aircraft template.

Otherwise, look for templates without lines inside the aircraft, and save you work as .png. If you save it as .jpg, you'll get those blurry areas.

Yeah, I have GIMP and I can use it to some extent. I just need the right kind of images.

Avoid templates saved in .jpg.

I mainly use templates from Jetabout

I know to avoid jpegs, but the Jetabout templates are the same ones used on here. That doesn't help me.

There's some pretty good liveries here. You have to scroll down a bit though.

Also, Skylite Designs has some pretty good templates.

Unfortunately, none of those help me. I'm looking for something I can easily edit with Paint. Something that's just simple black outlines.

Well, that's a bit harder to find.

Try googling 'template [aircraft]', 'drawing [aircraft]', and make the selection black and white. That way you should have something if you're lucky.

I use templates from jetabout and modified airliner photos
