Color will be filled in a new layer. To do this, select, with the Magic Wand, on the layer with the new lines, the area(s) you're going to add the color to. That is, the blank area between the lines. The Wand will give you a selection wher you'll be filling in color. But first, Expand the selection 2 pixels (in the Expand submenu in the Select menu). This will ensure youre color goes up right to the edge of the black lines, and doesn't produce any ugly whitespaces. The picture on the left shows the results.
	The neat style of shading that's all the rage, is simply a progression of a base hue. We create a new layer, above the previously mentioned one to create a 'base camp,' where these progressions will take place. We take the base color, Furball's dark blue fur, and darken it one 'step' by entering a lower value in the Luminesence (or Brightness) component of the HSL(B) value. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Luminesence [or Brightness]) is a three-number code for describing a color. So to make a darker color for the shadows, he decrease the Luminesence (aka Brightness). This is done by clikcing on the color square in the Tool Box (where there's usually a black square and a white one). This brings up a color chart, where these numbers can be manipulated. Now that we have the darker color, we can use the Brush tool, set at Multiply mode, to add progressions of color. Shadows are formed as the base color gets darker and darker. Think of where your light source is at carefully when you do this step.
