How do you color with; a scanner and Adobe Photoshop 7.0?

I'm not really the god of technology, and I ain't the next Leonardo De Vinci but I do have a scanner, a few writing utensils, some paper, a computer, and hopes of dreams!
So I'm trying to figure out the way to make my drawings more better and more realistic. I DO NOT OWN A TEMPLATE (I wish I did though :C) My drawings are good enough but my problem occurs when I have to scan the picture then color it in "Adobe Photoshop 7.0". When I scan the pic does it matter what options I have on it, how bright it should be or how sharp the contrast is? Then when I get coloring I usually use the "magic wand" tool. It underlines the layers and it's easier for me to color in, but eventually I screw myself over and I can't figure out the rest, I tried reading the instructions twice but it makes no sense. I hope I'm making sense here.
So, does it matter what options I have on my scanner, and how do I color professionally with Adobe Photoshop 7.0?
 
it doesn't matter what settings u have if you want to try and colour in a way that looks like it was drawn shade in pencil in the real image then draw over the pencil lines with the color replace tool. or you can download new brushes to fill in the gaps
