1. Sketch person.
2. Draw lines, in this case with a textured brush, sometimes looks a bit more interesting. However it can also look a bit rough and messy, so it depends on what look you're going for.
3. Colour on a layer beneath the lines. Deliberately leave some colour outside of the lines, and make this outside border a bit wider and messier with a texture brush again, so it's not just a hard line where the colour stops and the background begins.
4. Find a texture that you like, put it on a new layer above the rest of the image and set it to something like overlay or multiply, play around. Different settings work better in different situations.
5. Et voila!

When I say textured brush, I'm personally using something that I got from an ImagineFX magazine, but the default chalk brushes in PS would do just fine, or you can look around dA for more custom brushes. The brush you use won't matter too much, many artists put too much stock in custom brushes.
