I have a little trouble coloring this piece.

I've got the line art down, but I'm not sure how to go from here.

I'm using Photoshop, the one that came with the Bamboo fun tablet, and I honestly have no clue what I'm doing. I've always used pencil to make stuff but I can't cross hatch my way out of coloring this one.

Can the Art Forum offer a little help?

use the paint bucket tool to fill in the "flats", which are the basic color for each part then use the magic wand to select one color. Use the brush tool to color in your shadows and highlights from there. Repeat for each color until you are done. :)

set the ink layer to "multiply". This should allow you to color through the white behind the ink you made.
