Help filling, coloring, blending scanned b/w drawing

[BradSpencer]

Hey guys

I tried to go through the forum to see if anyone had answers already, but there is too much, and I am a new user and should probably just ask anyway.

I have a scanned drawing that I am using as a logo on a business card, website, etc. It is a drawing of my face, and I need to color it, blend it and so forth. I am starting to get layers, but I need someone who can explain it, rather than some tutorial. Any advice is appreciated

thanks
Stephanie

...sorry, this is a tutorial, but an easy to follow one. i take it your scan is a line art sketch with little shading at present...

...if you have cs2, check these links to get your image into vector and a much better editable state:
