I'm trying a slightly different approach to coloring this image - normally I do it all in Illustrator, but it can be rather time-consuming to color and properly order the inks, and then create the color fills. I thought it'd be quicker to color the inks in Photoshop instead, but so far it feels like it's taking just as long.

After separating the inks in separate colors in CMYK mode, I copied the later and started filling everything in. These fills will be used as masks for the actual colors, later.

Huh! Interesting approach to coloring in Photoshop. I've always done the RGB method and turned the inks layer to Mulitply and fill in the base colors on a layer below that. I'm curious about CMYK mode now. :)

My approach is a bit - actually a lot - obsessive... I like to color my lines, but I also want those lines to be affected by shadows and highlights. The best way I've found to do that is to make sure the cuts/masks cover the lines perfectly. Doing all this in CMYK is just a handy way to keep the masks clean. Technically the same trick can be done in RGB mode, but with CMYK you have an extra color channel to work with.
