CLAMP Coloured Illustrations (How to do it!?)

Sup?

I always wondered how CLAMP do their amazing colour illustrations. I'm not sure what they use, but I think they use watercolours (That's what my art teacher thinks anyway..). The Cardcaptor Sakura and Chobits illustrations are the ones that stumps me. I've tried to get the look but fail miserably. I wish I could achieve the same effects of their coloured illustrations. I have no idea what they use to outline them as well! (It's hairline thin brownish lines) The paper they use has no bumps or grainy bits in them when printed in artbooks.

Does anyone think they know what CLAMP uses in their colour illustrations? I'm really desperate to do illustrations like CLAMP! OX

I'll be so grateful if anyone can tell me how to paint, draw (or whatever they do) like CLAMP.

No patience for fools.

I have no clue, but they do detail some of their techniques in their artbooks. Check out North Side or South Side, one has a tutorial (I think...)

I was reading in CLAMP Kiseki the other night that they used color tones for Tokyo Babylon. This is apparently expensive and tedious, but produces nice works. Or that could just be CLAMP's level of talent. They also said they could do it at the time Tokyo Babylon was released because they didn't have a cat (meaning cat fur would stick to the color tones while they were being applied to the drawings).

Totally confused @_@

they do use water colours but they also use those kind of markers which are meant for colouring mangas, another thing about the paper is that they use fine quality ones and they will spray something on top of the drawing before they scan it, so that the grainy bits won't be so obvious and that when they hv spray the stuff on the grainy bits will kinda stick to each other. I've seen how it was done at a "mangaka clinic" but if thats not the way they do it then i hv no idea.
