  Old  Coloring logo with illustration

I have made a logo of a website am gonna startr soon enough. I have pretty much made it up, with pen tool and stuff. But the problem is that bit is all black and white.
I am looking to colour the face of the guy, and add some colour to the text and make the supposedly horns adjacent to text red or atleast understandable that its horns.

I need some tips on coloring it

if colouring in photoshop you could blog the face in with some colour. paint roughly all over the face (new layer of course) and then hide this layer, go back to the original later and select the white of the face using the magic wand tool, then CMD + Shift + i (windows: CTRL + Shift + i) to invert the selection, then back on the colour layer and hit delete.

This should give you a colored face, you can then use the dodge and burn tool to add shading, dodge to lighten and burn to darken.


Also, to make the horns more - horn like in there appearence, you can always simply rotate them, so that the baseline is horisontally adjasent to the text
Here is what I would do: http://grab.by/5jET

Hope this helps.

It all depends on what program you're using. You can color it in Illustrator and/or Photoshop.

Ray Lead,
If it's a vector file, create colored shapes behind the black outlines of the face to add color. When you give it to your client it won't matter how weird the shapes are they you've made because they'll be behind the unified black strokes. Also, expand your strokes so that you don't hit any issues when it comes to printing.

-Benjamin M. Jacques
