I think every photoshop tutorial has covered this:
1) Your lineart is on top, and there's a pull down menu to set it to "multiply", some people use "darken".
2) Everything under that gets it's own layer. I usually have them marked as Skin, Costume, Boots, Gloves, etc... It's when someone designs a costume with 4,000 separate pieces that my brain goes, ouch! Cause many of those will need it's own layer...
You don't have to work that way, but if you make a mistake, it's good insurance that the coloring for something is on it's own layer, it also allows it to be re-colored, or changed somehow without effecting anything else.
3) Under this, and basically I make this layer first, consider it your bottom bun... a layer I label as base or background/color. This serves two purposes, depending on the shade, it keeps your other colors from being too saturated or bright. And also it sets a nice mood for your overall piece.
If I have multiple figures, I make folders, and in them go separate layers for skin, costume, etc... the bottom layer is always the "base". Some make a separate layer under that an call it the background.
I've seen pros set a "trap" layer in CYMK under the lineart to make the blacks richer. Not absolutely sure how to do that since I mostly work in RGB for the web.
But I hope some of that helps.
