::: Photoshop Colouring ::: STAGE 4 :::
Here is a useful technique for colouring a scanned black and white drawing using Adobe Photoshop.
 

Create a new layer. Call this 'Darker Tones' and set its layer mode to Multiply. Selecting the darker flesh colour and using a soft-edge brush tool with its opacity set low (10-20%), paint in the deeper shadow tones. Keep the layer opacity at 100%.
