haha,my beloved friend kate asked me for that,so i do it juuust for her ^^ I'll show you my way of colorating muaha ...kate?l.u. <3 *_*
_
First open Photoshop.
Then choose the picture you'ld like to color,but it doesn't has to be a black-white one ^^you could also use a colored one like me.

If you also choose a colored one,you have to do one more step but nothing hard ^^.
You have to get your image in black-white,so choose Image->Adjustments...->Desaturate.Ready?
Let's do the next steps.

You did well 'til now,but we've just started muaha.^^
To color your picture you have to choose the brush-tool first.Choose the size you want.
Then you have to choose a color with you colorpicker.ehm...I think we can begin with the skin-color(one of the most difficult things).
For the right color you have to take a brown-tone(maybe a darker one ^^) as the picture shows.

Great.Now open a new layer (press CTRL(STRG)+Shift+N) and you can draw with you brush all over the picture(well,just the skin-parts,how to correct the rest i'll show you later ^^)

Not this kinda good-looking,right?but we'll change it now ^^
In your layers-window you'll find selective list,where all your blending options are listed.

Now choose the best-looking option(you should try out a lil bit,but i think 'Overlay' or 'Soft Light' are always the best ^^).You can also change the Opacity ^^(as you maybe saw xD)
Now your image should look like my example:

Hehe,now you have to erase the overlapping parts of skin-tone with the eraser-tool.
link

You have to leave out the nails,eyes and lips,i mean,usually they aren't skin-toned,right?;)
It should look like this now:
link

After that you have to do the same stuff with every different-colored part of the picture;lips,hair,eyes,nails,cothing-everything ^^
But take care that you're using a new layer,everytime you do another part.So u can vary the blending options xD

Tip: When you do some rouge to the cheek it's better to choose a blurry brush then a normal one...i'll show it to you:

link <-this one ^^

My finished image is by the way looking this way

Not my best,but just good enough and maybe the best image to show you easy how to do colorations^^
I think your first picture doesn't have to be the best.You should just practice,practice,practice. ^^

Hope you enjoyed and I hope I could help you just a lil bit.Thanx for reading my Tutorial<3
