And yes, I added a toothbrush to his mug for absolutely no reason.
What are you using to colour it? Because it is brilliant!

Adobe Photoschop CS, which is bitmap based, not vector based. If you aren't at least an intermediately skilled user of Photoshop, you may not understand most of the lingo here.
Step 1: Draw and scan in the sketch. Fiddle with its brightness/contrast and change its colour with levels.
Step 2: New Layer called "Lineart". Use pen tool to trace SHAPES around the edges of each line in the sketch (easy to do with because of the way I clean up sketches and make my lines bolder)
Step 3: New layer called "Flats" underneath "Lineart". Use Pen tool to fill in the flat (base) colours within the lineart.
Step 4: New layer called "Hair Shading" above "Flats". Use Pen tool to fill in the shading with a somewhat darker colour. Lock layer transparency, switch foreground and background colours, and find a darker colour. Use linear gradient on the layer.
Step 5: Repeat step for for every seperate subject, such as skin, clothes, etc. All the shading layers are between "lineart" and "flats".
Step 6: Lock transparency of "lineart," find even darker colour and colour the lines with a brush larger than the thickness of the lines, as fit.
Step 7. Voila.
I have never used it so understood non of the lingo. But I am sure it will come in handy one day when I do use it.
Is it anything like flash? because I have coloured a picture on that and then I made a short film of the person gradually ageing.
Although judging by your picture it is alot better than flash.
Flash has a really badly engineered pen tool, in which you can't edit the corners of the paths while you draw the path. The pen tool in PhotoShop is a lot better.
Flash draws vector shapes immediately. If you zoom in on the shapes, they don't appear as pixelized (Spelling? I'm braindead), and are smooth all the way through. In Photoshop, you have to right click and select "fill path" or "stroke path" to get the shape/line generated by the path. Only the path itself is vector. The shape and line it generates are pixellized.
That's very good
