OK.

First off, I have NEVER used photoshop at all. What I want to do is scan a really nice pencil drawing that I did and add color to it. Paint it up real nice like.

So, any suggetions on where to go to learn how to do this? I only ask because there are like a million links and Im not sure what I should be looking for.

start with some real basics like using layers in photoshop > http://www.bairarteditions.com/pages...op/layers.html

that might not be the best tutorial, but you want to start using layers before anything else really - so you can keep a layer with your original image in, and draw colours on new layers "above" it. you can then easily undo anything without damaging your original.
