I think I'm finally getting back into doodling and art stuffs. Maybe.
Can anybody point me in the direction of a good colouring tutorial? (Bernie, help?!) I'm so bad at colouring...and inking. Really need to brush up on this stuff.

It's good to see you're drawing again. Maybe.
Take care, sweet Bull *huggle*

You could use one layer to force you in a more spontaneous direction... Nice underwear! =3
Hey it`s good to see you doodling again, plus you do it very well with coloring and inks as far as I know but there`s always room for improvement so keep it up!!!
And great work by the way, very cool looking guy ^_^

Colouring is more about knowing where colours and shadows lie on a body.
There isnt a tutorial for that. If anything, it's an excuse to A) be lazy and B) not try. Colouring is just adding shadows. Study form, perspective and anatomy. Conceptart.org is where you want to go if you are serious about learning that sort of thing.
You already are doing a pretty good job on the colouring though >_> (Although personally, I feel the picture is really lacking hard and deeper shadows that make muscular definition)
Colouring Tips:
Shade a sphere for easy colour picking for later.
DONT EVER USE THE BLOODY SMUDGE TOOL™. Quit being lazy and paint it yourself XD. It provides better practice and technique in the long run. Epically when working with real media. (and even if you dont use the BLOODY SMUDGE TOOL™ spread the word)
Shadows are rarely ever black. Try a purple or green shadow sometime.
Try to keep your madness in-tact and pants un-aflame
Some people work in greyscale fist and then move on to
On the subject of inking:
Always work HUGE! The bigger the better, and the smother your inks come out once done. (This also applies to colouring, and practically anything you do, it is the only way to do detail in a picture because you can't otherwise, I have had several occasions where I wanted to divide pixels into 4 >_<)
Three options for line-work:
Multiply layer: Turns white into transparent over other layers, unfortunately this ties up alot of choices you have for the line work, but is the easiest option by far
Transparent layer: Much nicer to work with
Linework mask: The god of all options, this allows for all sorts of fun things to happen, like coloured line-work (Although you could do the same thing with the Transparent one as well via clipping masks XD), in conjunction with clipping masks and or weird layer blending.
There are a few camps on the subject of inking:
Real media: Real pen and ink. There is no comparison to working it in real life, and it usually comes out more naturally than anything a computer can do.
Pen tool: The pen tool operates in vectors, which are infinatly scalable and never lose their sharp edge. Adobe Illustrator is used quite a bit for this.
4000000x4000000px canvas: I am not exaggerating. Use the biggest canvas you can make on your computer without it crashing or hampering the performance (and do the same for ANY art you ever do), and use a 100% hard standerd round brush and go over it. Shrink. ???. Profit!~

Just wondering, on the inking. Traditional or digital.
Well digital is nice. But if you want to know the depth of inking. Try learning the tools of traditional inks. by learning the effects & strokes of the ink line. You will get a better understanding of what your looking for in digital inks. Going to the arts & craft stores and picking up all types of inking pens, nibs, tips, and brushes. And experimenting with them will give you the insights your looking for.
PS.
Always love your artwork! Be interesting to see how it develops as your grow with it.
