These notes describe the individual pictures.

1) How to Make 1: A scan of an ink drawing, with all areas that will be coloured closed up with lines. Scan black & white line in "black & white" only, this will give you a perfectly clean scan without grey pixels. Scan at 100dpi (or smaller) otherwise you will have an unneccesarily large file. Then save it as a .jpg, and use the menu list to "increase color depth" to 16 million colors. This stage is the most important.

2) How to Make 2: Put the colours in! Use bucket fill with colours selected by clicking the current colour display. You can make your own colours in most paint programs and save them as custom colours. If the bucket fill floods areas of white you don't want that colour, go back to black and use the brush tool to close off the outlines. If you get white jagged outlines withing the outlines, try adjusting the tolerance of the bucket fill to a higher number. Once the colours look okay, save. The nipples were done using a lasso selection, feathered to soften the edge.

Save a backup copy, preferably on another disc.

3) How to Make 3: Now we're getting somewhere! Use the Magic wand tool with the tolerance set fairly high to select areas you want to work on. Then model using the Photo retouching tools on Lighten. Set a fairly large size to lighten wide areas, like her chest and breasts, and build up the highlight by layers. Work down to a smaller tool size for smaller details.

Already an eyeful! Save once it looks okay.
