*Long post warning*Take drawing off JJ's site, open in PS, adjust curves to pick out the lines and fade pencil squiggles. Print at 10% opacity, ink by hand and scan in at 600dpi grayscale. Save as PSD then open in Adobe Streamline. Convert to ART and save as an AI, open in Illustrator, fix any line problems and export as TIFF into PS. Select black colours, invert selection to delete everything but lineart. Lock layer and colour each area in a new layer underneath the lineart. Using the inked version, plot where shadows go in pencil, then use that as a guide with the pen tool and drop the selections brightness by 25 twice.
Then you look at your pencilled/inked paper and scan that in,adjust curves, stick on a surface blur, set layer to overlay, stick a flat colour lightish blue underneath, set that to darken and use the brush tool to roughly fill in a layer under that in the colours. Once finished, just play with gradients until you get one you like.
Turns out that the picture you see up there was actually a byproduct of what I was actually doing. Came out far better though.
