I am hopeless with colouring as I am what's wrongly called colour-blind, its more like colour-confusion. I make an awful mess when trying computer colouring software. It could be that watercolours are the answer! Perhaps I can break out of black & white only. With water colours I could try a colour on paper to see if it is what I want. Then go to my cartoon. Exact colour does not matter too much: the wrong blue for the sky, or the wrong green for a plants and fields for example. After all, look at the Simpsons; unless what I am seeing as yellow skin is really pink or white (No!) Anyway, you get what I mean. Time to go pick up a simple water colouring set - unless anyone else has any better ideas? This article about Alan has given me an idea!
