Here's a page from a story I did from Zowie! Tales of Tiki Terror! A few people had recently asked me how I use the computer to color my stuff. These images show the basic steps I usually take.
1)The linework drawn directly into Illustrator using the Wacom. After roughing out thumbnails by hand, I'll do my roughs in Illustrator too, then change them to a light blue, lock them, and "ink" on top.
2)Then, I import into Photoshop, where I add color onto a layer underneath the line work.
3) Shows what the line work and color look like together. It's very much like I imagine an animation cell going together. My photoshop file could very well have several layers involving backgrounds, overlays, effects and the like. Basically, if I feel I'd benefit from the ability to move it independently of the rest - it gets it's own layer.
  
This is from a couple years ago and was the first time I'd attempted this method in a lengthy format (14 pages). It was a real learning process and I never did get to consistently where I wanted it. But it was a start. Many of the details, related to drawing AND color, I'd handle differently today. But the basic approach would be the same.
