As most of you, I imagine, have already figured out, I fail at coloring.

To such an extent, actually, that none of you have yet seen my coloring. Pray that you never will. I'm rooting for you. :D
So, anyway, can someone color this? What colors you use and how is up to you completely. I don't want anything too fancy, I just want to see it as a finished work.

I just need some basic colors and it shall be done.

Fur --> Orange
Clothes --> Generally orange, brown, yellow, and gold
Trees and grass --> Green
Sky --> Blue
Bandage --> White

Those two circle are two small planets near the sun; so they should be black.
Thank you! :D

Someone else can color this too and you can choose.

I'm kinda confused as to what some things are. I'm gonna color in what I know, then ask.

meh I'll give it a bash aswell I spose...

What color is that little basket looking thing in the corner...?

infact, what is that?

That is a basket.
It is different shades of brown.

Why the heck are your lines so fuzzy? Are you trying to use a feathered brush to do your line art or are you blurring it?

I donno why, but it's making cutting out the white bits much harder...

Are you kidding me? I was able to use the lines easily o-o
I darkened them, and I was able to just fill it in with the paint bucket in Photoshop xD It's working out just fine for me.

I'm adding details, shading and such... so we'll see how it comes out.

Yeah, some people might be a little new to this. For those who are having troubles seeing/painting the lines, you can work with the levels to attain higher contrast. You could also work with some plastering effects to remove blur.

As for me I just vectorized everything through illustrator to get those perfect edges and then "KERPLOP!" goes the paint-bucket. You can use the "auto-trace" function on many vector imaging programs to attain hard cut levels and then port back to photoshop or whatever raster imaging program you use. You could even use free services like "vectormagic.com" to extract cleaner lines from. Very VG cats-ish btw.
(although for the note, it does look blurry. Workable, but blurry)

I used the Magic Wand, and selected all the lines, then just made the lines black o_O Copied them the background layer with a good-ol copy, then pasted them onto a new layer. Thus, I've got the background layer for coloring, and the top layer stays in tact, so that all the color stays behind the lines :3

I got too tired to finnish the coloring. But this is how it looks so far. :P

I really didn't understand what the stuff on the left was, so i just thought it was the sun and something. the other thing next to the "tree" or whatever i don't know what is. :P

You didn't state any color in the main post, so i just made the colors up. :P

Oh and. I just put the original drawing on a layer and made it overlay, so everything beside the lines becomes transparant. I increased the white-black contrast on it so the lines where better to work with. I did not edit the lineart other then contrast. The colors are on a layer under it.

Anyone who use Photoshop or Corel Painter, and is cutting out the linearts white areas seriously need to learn the BASICS of the program. Like layer properties. :p

Woah. That looks great. I wish I could colour that good. Daaamn. :o
How long did you work on it?

1 hour and 30 mins to 2 hours ca. (I'm not really sure, but i did color very fast since it was just 40 mins until I had to go back to school after a 4 hour break, and then continued when i got hime) after I increased the drawings size to 300% (from 100% obviously). and then colored it. Sized it back down the original when i saved it as jpg. :P
