Anyone know a good tutorial for coloring line art?

Hi,
The easier way to do this if the line art has color in it is to goto hue/saturation (Ctrl+U) and adjust the Hue slider to get the desired color.
But if it is strictly black and white then do this:
Open your image, select all, edit > cut, press "Q" to get into quick mask mode, edit > paste, press "Q" again to exit quick mask, then invert the selection marquee (Ctrl+Shift+I), then select your color on the tools palette and goto edit > fill and choose foreground color from the dropdown and set the opacity to 100 and the mode to normal and then de-select (Ctrl+D) and then you can add a new layer, fill it with white and move it below the colored lines, then merge if you want to.
Hope this helps!
