Hmm, I wanted to do a "step-by-step" tutorial thingy at some time to show you guys how I work, but given the urgency of the situation, here goes:

1. Photoshop
2. Ink it and scan it
3. "select color range>highlights ( inverse)
4. Cut and paste on a new layer
5. Delete the bg ( this will make it cleaner)
6. Now, you can add a white layer under the outline
7. Filter> blur more ( on the outline layer of course)
8. Select layer transparency
9. Then, get a big 100% hardness brush and color those lines in black
10. Deselect and see what you have created, clean black outline
11. Get the eraser and clean up some randoms black dots and some mistakes and whatnot
12. Make a layer between the outline and the bg
13. Color each part of you drawing with one basic color using the Fill Bucket and the Polygonal Lasso
14. Now, create another layer between the outline and the color
15. Still using the polygonnal lasso, color in some shadings and highlights by using the black and white colors and a paintbrush. It works waaaaaaaaaaaay better if you set the oppacity of your brush at 12-20%
16. Also, use one of those really soft brushes.

There you go.
