A good method for coloring in the lines in photoshop is;
1. Open up the sketch.
2. Open up Brightness and Contrast so you remove all the gray and leave only the black of the lines.
3. Set layer to multiply.
4. Create layer below and color in the lines.
5. When the layer is all colored in with your base color, lock it with the checkerboard button on the layers panel so you can't color anywhere but that space.
6. If you want to keep your lines in the sketch, open a new layer at the very top and trace the lines with a 1-3 pixel brush in black.
7. Remove sketch layer and there you go :3
