I draw a lot but have no satisfying way of converting (modifying the drawing by adding convincing colouring etc) my works after scanning them. I'm sure most of you are better at this than I am so please feel free to help me with this dwarf and tell me how it's done.

that is a nice start.. you already have most of your work cut out for you. i'm not sure how much you know about digital painting, but try this:

in photoshop or painter, put your drawing on its own layer on top of everything else and set it to "Multiply", and paint away on the layers below. you might want to up the contrast on the dwarf, since practically everything is masked in gray -- you want to leave some white areas so the colors underneath don't get muddled.
this is just a preference, but i also like adding my final highlights on a new layer above everything else so they lay down really thick.

uh.. hope that helped. ciao!
