Comic Art Supplies Screentone
So, what is screentone and what on earth do you do with it? Basically, screentone is a low-tack adhesive-backed, transparent sheet of black printed dots. Used by manga artists in Japan (where comics are predominately b&w) screentone represents shading. The size of the dots, the pattern and the distance they are apart from each other gives the optical illusion (at a distance) of differing shades of grey. Extemely easy to use, screentone can be repositioned and peeled from artwork without any form of damage. Once you have your shaded artwork just how you want it, simply rub the screentone into place with a blunt end (such as the 'Tone Hera)'.

SCREENTONE - Graduated Pattern Screens The next step up in 'fanciness' is the GRADUATED PATTERN. The descriptions are for the amount of dots in a linear inch. There's obviously no dot percentage as the graduation means the size of the dot is changing as the pattern gets lighter and darker. Each single sheet measures approximately 362x253mm.
