Colouring Help?

Im a fairly good drawer ( well atleast i think so) but when it comes to coloring in and lineing my work on a computer i wouldnt have a clue how to do it properly ive only dealt with pixel art size of digital imagery. What i want to know is their any really good tutorials on lining your work using photoshop and coloring your work using photoshop or corel painter. The main style of coloring i want to know how to do is the following images off

www.jdillon.net (an amazing artist)
Penciled and coloured
Afternoon
and this one
Guardian

If anyone could help me out it would be most appretiated.

ThankS in AdvancE

Anyone ? This is sort of urgent. Does anyone understand what i want?

Here's a coloring tutorial by Julie using Photoshop:

Thanks CNO. Do you know any tutorials in program painter. And also in the first image Afternoon how didi she do the pencil image with the coloring in and change the color of the pencil ?

There's more tutorials on that same site (including one for Painter).

If you have the full retail version of Painter, there's some good tutorials and demos in the program itself (as well as the full-color manual).

I would imagine the pencil color was either by using a colored pencil, or by adjusting the color after an image was scanned (simple adjustment settings in Photoshop).

Cool thanks CNO.

if you can get in touch with melmann, and he's willing to help you I've seen his stuff at the pic exchange thread, and he's quite good at it.

Can anyone help me. Whats a good size pen to use for inking. I have an 0.4 fine liner but i think its a bit big could someone reccomend a size and a good tutorial on inking and scanning. What dpi should i scan at ?

I just use the smallest pen I can find. AS for scanning use the highest dpi you can handle. I have some links to good pages:
