This document provides instructions for using overlay techniques to add color to black and white cartoons using Photoshop. The techniques involve removing the white from a B/W cartoon, coloring the cartoon in a layer below, and using the wand tool to select areas to fill with gradients and textures for color and texture. The resulting colored cartoon will be assessed based on layout, creativity, and use of Photoshop techniques like gradients, textures, and selection tools.
