I'm not going to color it for you, since that defeats the purpose of you learning how to do it yourself... But some general advice is to have each color on its own layer. Just about everything you add should be its own layer. Make liberal use of masks to section off areas to paint without worrying about painting within the lines... An example would be to use a path and trace the lineart into sections so that you could make a selection, mask that layer, and paint only that specific spot without fear of overlapping onto another area.

The style itself is very basic and easy to master, so you shouldn't have much troubles once you have the basics I just described down. The cell shading should be easy, too, using selections (or simply painting sharp edged black areas and multiplying the layer over the area to be shaded) to burn the shading into the layer. Personally, I would use layers to add shading, as it's easier to fix mistakes than it is otherwise.

Thanks, that was actually helpful.
