"Line art colouring"

Was just wondering if anyone here is interested in colouring Line Art pictures in programs like Photoshop? I recently tried to colour a ninja type picture in but found it a bit harsh for a first time picture. I thought I'd post up a picture I am going to colour and show you how I get on :) If anyone else wants to colour the pic in as well that would be cool.

Hint: Set paint layers modes to multiply and also burn and dodge tools ;)

mm, I do agree, the second one is very nice.
I'll look forward to seeing your final product :)

Now that was the guys first attempt. Blew me away however :) Just takes a while to get the basic colours down and then add the lighting details etc.

Another example quickly before i go to school:

Pretty nifty I'm sure you'll agree :)

Colouring in? :D
not too sure why your doing this but the brown hair looks nice.

Mmmm, had a closer look. Is a bit rough at the moment. Will carry on colouring tomorrow.

Well I've made a start on it. Basically I am going to colour the solid colours first and add details later. Hair colour may change as I dont know what colours the rest of the picture will be

Oh and another hint quickly, if you're having problems with actually colouring the picture a colour other than black and white make sure you do this:

Image>Mode>RGB Colour

All of my hints are from Photoshop 6 by the way if anyones confused

Okay, well I've found a picture that I quite like and heres the address
