Super Easy Tutorial For Existing Lineart
#1: Save the drawing/lineart you want to use onto your computer. Go into Photoshop, click "open" and select the file.

#2: Edit->Define Brush Preset

#3: Name the brush, and click "Ok"

#4-5: Click "New" and make a new document in the size you want your line art, and click "Ok". I've made this file 1440(w) by 900(h) in pixels.

#6: Create a new layer. This is SUPER important, because you want to make sure you can color under/over the lineart later.

#7: Select the brush (It should be at the very bottom of your brushes list...just keep scrolling down till you find it) and use the brush on the new layer. You only need to click once.

#8: Crop your lineart so it fits the page nicely.

#9: Save your new lineart as a .PNG file. No merging or flattening the file, it's nicer this way.

And your done! You now have a nice line art ready for coloring.

Note: This tutorial is only recommended for linearts where the background is white, and the lines are already black.
Any line arts where the background is a different color, or the lines are a different color, may need extra photoshopping before it can be coloured.
