Heyy /vp/ this is my first post on this board. I have been obsessed with recreating how pokemon looked in the original art and the first TV episodes. I have been learning how to paint with watercolor the last couple of months and i have tried many differnt techniques in OpenGL and blender. I just started with my master thesis and I chose recreating that specific watercolor / gouache as my topic. So some suggestions would help

1: What paint was used to create the tv episodes and first drawings?
2: Any books / resources regarding cell animation.
3: Any other suggestion also welcome
