Now we need to make a border. Use the selection tools to make a selection around your images. I used the magnetic lasso to get a selection following the shape of of the head. Then I increased the size of the selected region by 6 pixels by using the expand option (Select>Modify>Expand). I also used the smooth option (Select>Modify>Smooth) to round out some of my selection.

Inverse your selection, so that you are working with the area outside of the head only. In either a new layer, or the layer you used for detail cleanup before, use the paint bucket to black it all out. Now that you have the basic outline, go back and remove it where it isn't necessary. Remember to leave enough black and grey so that there will be a firm structure.
