Description
As I promised to some of the people here, I'm releasing the first tutorial here.This is the tutorial for how to do soft cell shading on Photoshop, based on my experience.
The version of Photoshop used in the tutorial is 6. If you use later versions, names of tools/modes and/or allocation of shortcut keys might be different.
I'm working on Windows, so if you use Mac please change these notations as: Ctrl to Command, Alt to Option.
I just hope it helps you.

if you used an example besides manga it would be better. Manga style is overused.

I'm not saying to lock the layer. I'm saying to lock the transparancy of the layer.

That's really helpful, I just got a question, can dodge be used on a separate layer? I am pretty sure I'll use too much of it, and I don't want to ruin the whole pic, and is dodge only used on humans or it can be used on animal's fur too?

Awesome tutorial, and easy to understand. ^^ But, the grouping doesn't work for me. D:
I'm using Photoshop CS3. Do you know if there's anything I might have missed or if I need to do something else?

Use Ctrl-Alt-G instead of Ctrl-G. The name of the function has been changed to "Create clipping mask" as well.
