Colourization

Hey guys. I always use this as a last resort, meaning I search and experiment and ask around before I even think about posting a question here. And yes, I did look through the memes, but just don't seem to be working for me. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some guidelines for skin colourization.

Any tips and guidelines would help me out a lot.

Thanks.
