In photoshop its fairly simple, copy the lineart on to a new layer, set it to multiply (makes the white space transparent). Then make layers underneath it and start coloring. As for coloring there are a ton of techniques for that as well, such as cell style shading, or more realistic shading where the colors flow smoothly into each other, then there are light sources and ambient light and backgrounds to consider.
Anyway here is a sketch and the final colored version that I did in photoshop (Btw for this kind of coloring it helps to have a wacom tablet).

You would be very good doing vectors toons I guess if you'd learn how to do it . One of my graphist kickass at that . He can draw a new character in like 30 minutes with colors and everything
