Thanks so much for all your replies and time - wow - very nice of you to help me so much. I'll have a go. Thanks again,

Hi Thanks for your replies. I have attached my 3 drawings. They exist on paper and are scans. I would use red, yellow and blue for each drawing layer - hopefully making secondary colours where they overlap. I've also attached 2 photos of the final effect I am interested in achieving (which shows the fill textures too). I have used only GIMP on a very basic level before. So I would really appreciate 'tab' by 'tab' instructions on how to do it using Affinity Designer. I've never used Photoshop. I need to print it out a4 (with a home printer) when finished. It is for my portfolio - children's book illustration. I'm also going to make real litho plates for these 3 drawing (I have a printing press) - to compare the results and time-taken to make them. Thanks so much for your time in helping me.

I have 3 black and white drawings (with no tone) - each representing a colour layer in the picture. I want to create the effect of a three colour separation lithographic print (with the layers semi opaque) so that the colours overlay each other. e.g. if a blue layer overlaps a yellow layer, then green is made. How might I do this? Each black drawing needs to be solidly coloured, then I need to layer them over each other. Are there mezzotint options if I wanted to change the solid areas to textures? Is there a fill that looks like the colour is made by traditional print-making? (Complete beginner with Affinity Designer.)
