How to digitally color your manga, anime or comic book character

this tutorial is about giving people the basis tools to color a character for their manga's  or comics.
hey if your good enough you can make your own cartoon( alot of work but always fun ).
i will show you how to get special effects and how to make your drawing rock.

Step 1 What will you need ?

to do this you will need :
a drawing ( duh)
a computer ( i did this on a 6 year laptop with 512 ram ,its old but got me out of a lot of  trouble .)
a scanner or camera  ( If your going to use a camera  make the foto in a place with good lighting )
a image editor ( i am using an older version of GIMP , because i was lazy to download the newer version )( the newer version  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.6.11-i686-setup-1.exe?use_mirror= ) 
 and time .
