Digitally coloring B&W Images.

[Le Messor]

I've got one issue of Elfquest. Twice.
I want more, but I'm not actively seeking it at the moment. (Money, donchewknow.)

Those are all very well done. Photoshop, I'm guessing? Do you use the wand tool? How do you keep between the lines? (When I use Photoshop, I always find there are breaks in bad places, and non-breaks where I'm trying to get all the colour.)

And as for coloring...

All done with layers. What I do is put a layer over the B&W image. Then I change the transparency. Get the color right (transparency makes it difficult to get just the right color sometimes). Trace the areas, and then color those in. Flatten the image, then change the "faded" colors to the black.
