My layer template for line art. It comes with proper settings and an adjustment layer. Sheep not included.

The layer set-up for my example image. The settings for it are slightly different than the template.
How to use:

Scribble some guide lines on the bottom-most layer. This is set at 33% opacity.

Make your finer-detailed sketch on the next layer. When you're done, you may delete the guide line layer and then lower the opacity of your sketch. I strongly recommend making your sketch blue for better visibility.

Skip up to the line art layer and trace over your sketch with a stablized pen tool. The layer in this set is a raster one, but you can change it to a vector one as long as it's empty. I have the line art layer set as a reference layer.

Go down to the color layer and pick your faovrite filling tools that uses the reference layer. The lightly-tinted paper layer will help you look out for missing colors, especially white.

The shading and highlights layer are set up as clipped layers for your convinience. The shading is set to multiply and the highlight is set to add (glow).

The overlay layer adds more depth to your art subtly.

Lastly, adjust your color balance settings to your liking.
Extra tips:
- You do not have to some of the included layers. They are a personal suggestion.
- This is set up for line art without backgrounds. If you desire to have one, you may make more layers below the guide line layer.
- You can add more clipped layers for your color layer. I recommend one shading and one highlight layer without special layer modes placed under their respective layers in the set.
- To add some texture, bring in your favorite paper image material, clip it onto your color layer above your Overlay layer, set it to overlay, and reduce the opacity to 33% or lower.
- If you are using colored line art, you can copy and paste the overlay layer to clip over your line art layer. Set it to 100% for the best results.
- Use off blacks, greys, and whites for better results with the color balance adjustment layer. These are greyscale colors with a hint of color in them.
