There are many ways to color an image.
This option has worked for me for inked images with good contrast and is the fastest way I have found so far to do this.
Gimp is a free program to manipulate images and drawings, similar to Photoshop. This program works by separating the image in layers. On one layer you put your black and white drawing. On a second layer you fill in the colors. On a third layer you draw the background, and so forth.
Note: You will find this tutorial in my blog www.fiestoforo.cl too, I have just shared it here.
Original and final version of the drawing.

Signing UpStep 1Open your black and white image in Gimp
Before starting, you will need to download Gimp from http://www.gimp.org/ and scan your black and white drawing. I scanned this image in grayscale (resolution 300 dpi or higher).
Open your image in Gimp by dragging the file into Gimp gray canvas or by using the dialogue in the File bar as in any other program.
