How To Colour And Shade In Cs2?

I have wacom tablet and i want to draw and do digital painting, I don't know how to colour in and shade in places of my drawn characters properly, does anyone know a good tutorial to properly colour in inked work?

thanks!

 

If I can find the tutorial I'll post it, but for now I'll give you a rough tutorial.

Basically, you take two colors; a light and dark, for obvious reasons.
Set your base color up.
Set your opacity to about 30% and the flow to about 20-30%.
And switch to your light and dark, start out light and work your way up, using the eyedropper to get better shading.

You put a little shadow down, then use the eyedropper to get the color you just made, which allows for a smoother shade.

These are some of the tutorials I collected for myself awhile back... (All taken from DA, I just don't have the original links)

The first one is done in Corel Painter, but it is the same concept. I have a really simple (straightforward) OpenCanvas tutorial, but I'll have to zip it up. http://www.personal.psu.edu/rwk5026/ColoringOC.zip

thanks for the help but those 3 links are zoomed out and hard to see all the words and stuff, do you mind uploading a bigger one so we can read it clearly? thanks

I hate Photobucket... Only reason I use it is because of the shell uploader for it.

This is the third one, its pretty comprehensive, so it should help out a bit.

You'll find a lot on Deviantart, that's where he got all those.
