well i think your off to a good start... but just work on the gradients so that its not such a hard change from black to light gray/white... but i think its a good start :D

Best way to color it is to lose the white background and have just the black outline. Make a layer below it and color in just the base colors, no shading, no highlighting, just solid colors. Once you got the color placement done, use the lasso tool or the Pen tool to select each area and use Gradients as fusiun said, or use the Dodge/Burn tool for shading.

ah thx for the help, but how do i get outline only? i would have to erase all the white???????

erf, lemme look for it on the forums, i posted it a while back.

k, hope you find it soon
