I never liked using computers when it comes to drawing, but I'm too impatient to color with my hands or find the right paper for it. Plus I figure a computer can do a better job than me, however, my problem is I'm not familiar with adobe photoshop anymore (been 5 years since I really 'used' it.)

I've tried to use this tutorial to try and color, but something's not right! I don't know if it's because I scan the original image (an inked sketch) in black/white or grey or what.

And I'm a little confused as to how go about coloring once I follow that tutorial step by step. There was a really good (& easy!) tutorial I had bookmarked a year ago, but since then I've lost the link.

If any Lusty artists could help me out, or post a few tutorial links, that'd be great. I tried google'n some, but nothing I could comprehend =/

Go to best buy.

Get a wacom tablet. (6x8)

Other advice until I can afford one =_=

Coloring this pic is getting so frustrating!

This tutorial is probably a lot better.

Never actually done any coloring myself.

Drawing with a mouse is like playing the guitar with your nose.
