to color pics like liquid graphics you have to make "cuts" (ie. masks) in the picture and fill them up using the gradient/airbrush tool set to "screen mode" hmm, if you're referring to the shadow coloring technique what they do is add some blue tones to contrast the shadows
about "inking" scanned sketches, i've asked mongoose about this and read a few tuts on inking but it seems like the only way to ink is to use the traditional way, ie. using a speedball or a fine pen and an illustration board.
what i do to "ink" images in ps (if it's really just a pencil sketch) is to grayscale the image then adjust the levels until the lines appear solid
do you have a webpage where you put your comic style pics i'd like to see them  |

To get pictures to have that Liquid!-type style of coloring, like dennison said, you need to make cuts. However, Liquid! has very prominent cuts, and has multiple cuts over each other.
About the inking, I find it is best (and the most fun) to just ink in traditional media. I just use a Hunt dipping pen, different sizes of nibs, and black indian ink. I suggest using this or a brush to do inking. However, I find that many technical pens just don't cut it for inking.
Oh well, my $0.03.
