This brings me back, this is quite an old pic but I still use, more or less, this type of technique to color and shade images. But since then I've learned at least 3 or 4 variant techniques to color images as well. The one thing that has changed the most when I do use this method is that I no longer use the paint bucket for anything. It has proven to be an unreliable tool, specially when it tries to color tight corners or tapering, narrow spaces between lines. Also it can leave very undesirable pixelated artifacts on certain spots if you aren't being vigilant. Now I use a brush to manually define the outline of the areas that require color and then select with the wand the inside area, expand the selection and Ctrl+F to fill it. It takes a bit more of time but the results are cleaner and avoids any of the undesirable side effects of the Fill Bucket.

I recently learned about the shading and highlight method in photoshop, but my main problem is the base sketch itself, not the coloring. Not that this didnt help or anything, it was actually quite helpful!

Hmm... to comment here or on GS... I think I'll comment here. 
I really like what you've done here. Provided I'm ever able to put together a full drawing myself, this could prove to be handy for a few things. Good job!
