::: Photoshop Colouring ::: STAGE 7 :::
Here is a useful technique for colouring a scanned black and white drawing using Adobe Photoshop.

Create a new layer. Call this 'Tonal Colour' and set its layer mode to Colour Burn with an opacity of 52%. Selecting the darkest flesh colour and using a medium soft-edge brush tool, paint the colour around the deepest shadows and contours.
