If you are drawing with the paintbrush tool the edges are drawn soft or "fuzzy"and the color selection tools 
will fail to select portions of the softened edges as blending to soften the edges brings the color closer to 
the colors of the neighborhood versus the color you are trying to select.  You can try increasing the 
threshold setting of the fuzzy select and color select tools, or paint your lines with the pencil tool rather 
than the paintbrush which guarantees a hard, solid, non-blended edge that the color select tool can select 
without loss.  The select tools also have their own antialiasing feautre which should be turned off if exact 
selections are needed.
