Tutorial

Now for what you came for!
1. The first thing that you have to do is open up your image in Photoshop. Make sure that the image is black and white or this tutorial will NOT work.

2. Next you have to select the brush tool, and change it to the settings that I have shown in the picture below.

3. The next thing that you have to do is start coloring in your picture. The hair, skin, eyes, lips, jewelry, clothing, etc., have to be colored in with these settings. Make sure that you take in fact the size of the brush that you are using. YOU MUST make sure that you color lets say the skin on the SAME STROKE! If you do not do this, and you go over something that has already been colored, you will darken the color and mess the entire picture up. Be Careful!

4. (OPTIONAL!) The next thing that you have to do is to change the brightness and contrast or the picture, to give it a better look and appeal.

5. The final thing that you have to do is to mess around with the brightness and contrast till you find what you like. I tend to like to lower the brightness and raise the contrast. I find that it gives the best effect, but whatever you do is up to you!
