Set the Layer to Blend Mode Multiply and add Solid Color Layers beneath it and above a white Background Layer and paint white on the Layer Masks (or use Vector Masks).

@c.pfaffenbichler is on the money.

 

You might want to apply a curves or levels adjustment layer to strenghten the lines too.

 

Good luck

@ChristopherGainz 

 

Can you tell us if this was hand-drawn and scanned or if it was drawn digitally?

It is easy to color your required image. 

Go to photoshop > Open this image > Trace it by using the Pen tool

After selection gives it colors. 

I hope these steps help out. 

Thank you and look forward.

Oh nice,

 

You may want to explore brush settings. Some really cool options there.

 

You doing any work on Wacom or iPads?

 

Enjoy Photoshop. It is the bee's knees.
