Basically I decided to make a tutorial for who got me photoshop CS2! Thank you SO MUCH. But you don't need that program to use this tutorial. Really, it can be used in any program from photoshop 5-CS2. You can easily adapt it to other programs too if you need it. Anyway, I hope you find this useful. I didn't want to give away the final picture completely, which will be posted soon
Enjoy
EDIT: I forgot to give it to you
If you want to use my original sketch, [link] here it is for you

Now that I've added what I think is every one of your tutorials to my favorites list, I must humbly bow and thank you. The lingo is not too technical for me to understand and it seems like you work the blessed assumption that not everyone can afford a tablet. Not to mention, but you're actually skilled and the way in which you go about things is not overly complicated. Not too many layers, not too many special techniques. Thank you so much for providing these to the community. I'm sure we all appreciate them greatly.

OKOKOKOK got it: tutorial on separating the lines from the white background and coloring them black:
1) (Ill be using her drawing, so make sure the background of the image is completely HTML hex code color #FFFFFF (white)) and click the magic wand tool.
2) On the ORIGINAL LAYER OF THE DRAWING right click and select Color Range. When the window pops up click a white space on the picture itself.
3) Set the fuzziness to 127 and then apply. All of the white part should then be selected.
4) Simply press delete.
5) THEN you click the Lock Pixels button and use a large paint prush with the black color and skim over the enter image ^^ you now have a black drawing! ^^ Hope this helps!

i found this thing and I studied it until I understood every part but when I went to actually used I fuck up on step one, I lock the transparent pixels and go to paint the sketch black and it paints the whole fricking thing black, I used the magic wand thing and deleted the background and then it colored over the who figure I am trying to color, You didn't go through everysingle space in that picture and through the hair and selected each one did you? or is there a simpler way to do that? I even tried it on your sketch and it did the same thing........HELP!!!
