Did a clean-up of one of the shots to see how it would look. This is what I'm aiming for. I did the clean-ups on Krita because it has the textured brush I want to use (I took a charcoal brush and modified it). I then rendered it back to ToonBoom.
For the backgrounds I wanted something with texture, not wanting to use flat colors, so I took a construction paper, soaked it in water, crumbled it up then flattened, than scanned it in once dry. That resulted in an interesting texture.
Speaking of coloring, I decided to have all the characters rendered solid white, placed against colored textured backgrounds. I wanted to go for the style some older animation did in the 1950s and 1960s where they had the characters painted solid white against brightly colored backgrounds. UPA did a few cartoons in this style, but other places did it, too, like in certain Schoolhouse Rock shorts.
