What kind of paint is usually used for coloring in hand-drawn cartoons?

Japanese animation is now basically computerized. The original drawings used in animation are colored just like regular cartoons, with watercolor and gouache and CG depending on the artist.

Previously also hand-painted artists, are celluloid paintings, that is, on celluloid (a transparent plastic sheet) with paint (commonly used oily markers, bright colors and glossy) painting.

Chinese hand-drawn animation is relatively indeterminate, it seems that the Chinese people are very favored hand-made very detailed film, such as the early ink animation. The paper-cut animation category may have originally been watercolor or gouache coloring.

As long as the cost is not a concern, any coloring method can be used in animation.
