Quick bit of time travel.  I've set the clock to UK time now.  I've just scanned 10 cartoons into the computer.  I used good old fashioned grey watercolour wash for half tones.  It actually looks grey-blue, but scanned in as 'greys' does the trick.  I don't really think you can replicate the effect of watercolour tones on the computer  that well, but, if you colour the half-toned cartoon with a low opacity, the colour lets the variations in the tone show through, and that really does look hand-painted.
I'm going to grab a bit lunch and head to Chester for the racing.  I should get there around 3 o'clock.  If I take a sketch pad, it's work.
