Hi, my english suck!
Well, i have scanned a image, how do i color it. Can I in some smart way
make the black strokes as a new layer and have the white transparent and paint under the black?
I hope someone understands

Thanks, Bye

eighter: you clean up the linework and make a new layer st to multiply.on this layer you can paint without destroying the strokes

or: you make a new laer adn trace the old strokes digitaly. then new layer for color.

Don't know if you meant this but maybe it helps,,,...my english sucks too

Okay, If I understood correctly you mean this:

Great tutorial by Julie Dillon.

basically, you want to cut and paste the line-art into a new channel, and colour the background layer. Check out comiccolors.com for tutorials.

good luck

the other way is to make a new layer, select Multiply and colour on that layer, it will show the black through it.. thats the way i've always coloured my B+W

this is the way I always paint my drawings... but, I'm a real beginner in digital art, so maybe there are some others ways to do this !
