Colorizing Line art 1

[mono570]

Checked FAQ's for this item but didn't get any info...
Can anybody point me to a link that is descriptive in coloring line art in Photoshop 6. I've done this several times before using multiple layers and it worked for the job needed. Now, however, I've got to color a line drawing where 2/3 colors butt together and the original black line art should not be visible in the final piece. Any ideas?
Thanks
Ashley

While I'm not sure what the art looks like...

To color the lines:
1) make a duplicate layer of the line art
2) remove the background using Select>Color Range & delete
3) lock the transparency for the layer
4) use the paint brush with any color you want to paint the lines

To fill the shapes:
Mimic traditional animation cell painting using layers.
