Little bit of photoshop help?

I do a lot of drawings/sketches. But primarily just ink and pencil. Is it possible to color then semi-realisticly with photoshop? Is there someone willing to lend a hand?

Sure... it's a good program for colouring, expecially if you use very monochrome lines, ie. no grey areas. Just use your basic Fill tool (the one with the paint bucket) and click away on the areas you want to colour. If you need a specific area coloured, select it with either the macig selection tool (the magic wand), the lasso tool (where you click points to create a selection) or the magnetic lasso (where the program sorta does the clicking for you, if there are lines to follow).
Try using the gradient fills as well, they make for some nice colours, especially when used subtely (sp?) - you can even create highlights and shadows with the gradients. Have fun!

Oh, you might want to use the magic wand first to select all the white areas of the figure you want to colour, do an Invert Selection, and make that a new layer - that way you won't accidentally draw outside the lines

And, to top off my thread abduction, I hereby present you with a 5-minute colourisation of your cool dragon. More time = better colouring. Happy colouring!

if you want really good coloring, make a new layer, color with the airbrush, then run a brush filter on it. it'll make it look pretty realistic.

I know almost nothing about photoshop... Ive played once or twice. The drogon image is superb. If it isnt a real big deal, anyone willing to give me a more detailed tutorial? Or perhaps recolor that dragon like silver?

Another tutorial I've found that particularly helpful is found at Phong.com: http://www.phong.com/tutorials/rounding/

This can give drawn lines that might not have the cleanest edges a very nice look. I've found it especially helpful for scanned pencil drawings.

You might want to try a program called OpenCanvas. It's outstanding.
