Ok, well, I start off with a really small tiny, tiny, proportion sketch. this is usually just a stick figure of sorts. Then I expand that stick figure to a larger size, and use the "Line tool" to create a more fleshed out version. Then I put that layer's transparency to 25%, and make a new layer. I then trace over my proportion sketch creating a figure using the pencil tool, at a size of 3pts. Make sure the pencil has no anti-aliasing. You should end up with a very rigidly lined drawing which can easily be filled completly with color using the fill tool at a tolerance of 1. I then create a new layer below the lines layer, and draw out shapes using the color I wish to shade with. Pay attention to the direction of light which is coming in at to determing which side of the figure should be in shadow. Using this layer below the lines, draw out borders for the darkened shades of color. You can use any number of different shades depending on your style. I usually use one shade, and one highlight. Then once the areas are drawn, merge the layers, and then fill the shaded areas with the shaded colors. then from there you have your "empty" area, and your "shaded" areas. Fill in the areas with the right colors, an you're done.
