Working on cartoon models.. need texturing help!

Youngy798

Hey everyone! I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I do anything wrong or break some kind of rule
I've been looking at some of the work on this forum and its pretty amazing, so I thought this would be a good place to ask for some help.
I am planning to work on a level in unity based upon the art style of Zelda Windwaker, I really like the cartoony look to it.
I have some basic models done so far and I am liking how they are looking:



and..



I am very new to modelling so excuse me if I have made any big mistakes, once I try them out in unity I will scale them appropriately.

Heres some of my inspiration:







My real question for today is that I need some advice on how to actually go about trying to imitate the texture style. I am very new to modelling and texturing so any help will be appreciated. I have looked at 'traditional' painted style but I like the more smoothed look of the windwaker style, I am completely stuck on how I would get this kind of effect though.
Also.. are my models looking good? I am trying to go for a cartoon style, so I guess most of the details will come from the texturing.

Thanks in advance

I don't know why these imgur links didn't work, I will post them where the image should be.

You have to copy the image url not the url for the imgur page.

So does anyone have any techniques, brushes etc which would be suitable for doing this style of art? I am totally lost on how to start something like this, I have looked at hand painted tutorials on youtube but they are mostly semi realistic looking.
