sion_mekos commissioned me to color this drawing that Red-Rouge-Boy of deviantArt did of his character Anodyne. I colored and redrew the lines almost exactly as they were (but in a much higher resolution than the original picture) without altering the picture's original look or anatomy.
I repeat, the original drawing was by Red-Rouge-Boy, not me. I did the colors.

Learn how light works. Find reference pictures related to whatever objects you're drawing/coloring, if you can. Choose a light source and the direction light will be going and all that before you begin coloring. Never shade with black; choose a color to shade with instead.
If you're coloring a person, take a look at pictures of people and see what the highlights and shadows and all that look like on a person. Did I mention look at references? That's a good thing to do, you should do it. I'm not much of a teacher, so that's just all the stuff I can remember off the top of my head.

I originally wasn't going to put the outline there, as the original drawing wasn't vector and it wasn't done by me, but because the file I was given was too low resolution for me to use properly, I ended up tracing the original lines and going from there at a really high resolution. I decided to go with the glow because it distracts from the bizarre anatomy the original artist drew this guy with.
From the preview, I felt there was a slight variation to your anatomy style. Seeing as the basic framework is someone else's, there doesn't seem much merit in commenting on that apsect.
I quite like the way you outline, using seperated dashes, and I'm quite interested to know how you decide where to use them. That and the cel-shading is as pleasantly crisp as last time.
