cheapest way is to use the burn and dodge tool w/ mask =D set it to highlights @ 30% and use your eye to judge~ imagine a light source in the image and work from there XD
and for scans try nuriko's site ~> http://www.csusm.edu/anime/

i also use the method that cn mentioned, but recently i read an interesting tutorial that manipulates hyung tae kim's painting style...it wasn't anything different; just paint the whole facial part in one color, and then choose a lighter tone and make the brush smaller and add light details to it, pretty much air-brushing.

I'm still having trouble, i generally don't have much trouble with photoshop. but i havent dun anything with anime before. so i'm triing to learn lol. but when i use the burn/dodge tools it doesn't work too well. i've tried so many things, airbrushing, using this technique, i've tried some thing with the poly laso that i saw somewhere. and it won't work, grrrrr. I'm stumped. If anyone has any more suggestions then i'd be greatful to them forever. but if not i can just keep trying different things until one works out :\

Oh yeah, I found that Hyung Tae Kim tutorial too! I lost the bookmark to it though, but I saved it on my harddrive!...but it's scatered in different folders deep in my harddrive--it's been over a year since I found it :( It's possible the page moved, so if I did find my bookmark, it's probably inaccurate.
I just know he uses Painter 6 and does watercolors with the whole "dry canvas" option which they don't have in my Painter Classic :(
As for shading, I highly discourage the use of dodge and bur. It's better to airbrush the color you want at low opacity, stroking multiple times if necessary. It's MUCH more controlled than dodge and burn and results in a much better effect. Plus, you learn a bit of color theory (shadows aren't merely darker shades of the base color!!!)
I've looked for tutorials too, but there's no real way to tell you where to shade--it's something you learn from observation-- study various pictures of real things, and artist's pictures. Most importantly, perhaps, go outside and look at things and people. Observation is the only way to learn lighting. No tutorial can teach this; if you do find one, post it--I need it as much as you!

no, it's not that i don't understand where the shadows and highlights should go. it's that when i appl whatever technique i'm trying to use to it, the shadow/highlight doesn't blend at all. :\

best way to color with photoshop is using low opacities and blending in with different layers. Imo if you do it all on one layer you have to be very careful or you can end up smudging it into a big mess kind of like paints. and also best way to find the shadows and lights is considering where lightsource is and the color tone of the background or sky is.
