Once that's done, make the lines lighter and set to Multiplication Layer. Beneath that, create a bunch of new layers, then fill in each color solidly. For different areas of the skin or hair, even if you're using the same color, it's convenient to put them on different layers.

For the hair and ribbon, I follow the feeling of the brush and ignore the rough sketch. The brush I've used so far is a Brush at Density 100%, and transparency varying based on brush pressure set to Off.
