The model will have very basic texturing at best, with an emphasis on material properties. For example, the mirror will be reflective, shiny objects will be shiny, etc.

But the entire comic will be painted on. The purpose of the 3D models is to give us the drawings and lighting almost free—point the camera and hit render—but we still have to paint on them because the painted look we are interested in achieving is not possible using Blender’s renderer.

See the dry dock image for an idea of what the painted style will look like. If you are interested in learning how to texture, contact me and I can give you some tips on how I would approach this.
