Description
since there has been quite a few people asking about how i make these multi layer halftone stencils i thought that instead of trying to explain it to each person i should make a tutorial.as far as i know there is no tutorial for multi layer halftones.
so here it is my first ever tutorial, not sure how good it is , let me know if it helps at all
looking forward to seeing peoples work
enjoy

it may seem a little tricky at first but after you play around with it few times you should be all right. if you have any problems, feel free to ask me about the tutorial

well here's my first attemt. I did the yellow and cyan layers. I'm sure those colors would look much better than what I used. I'll have to play around with some different colors. Which two colors make the best overall picture in your opinion? I really like the magenta and cyan layer version you did on that picture that is also full cmyk. [link]
Thanks again for the tutorial!

im hope this tutorial help you with making the stencil, i find that a black layer over a cyan, magenta or yellow layer turns out the best.

(wow I'm repetitive with the word 'color'. Next time I'll have to read before submission

seems like a step is missing between 2 and 3... where did all those layers come from? before that all u had done was set the image to cmyk? i am confused

Thanks Jarbid. Fantastic tut mate. I must've looked at hundreds of different tuts on every kind of stencilling. One actually only had 4 steps. Find your image, 'create a stencil', cut it out and spray it. Jesus ! I have to say your's is undoubtedly the clearest and best laid out I've seen. Be nice to have seen the spraycans as the full 4 layer stencil at the end, although I like just the black and blue layers that you've also posted. Never thought of doing less than all 4 layers of a CMYK. Now if you could just do a tut on dot halftones, with the emphasis on how to handle the islands.....

@~oxygenrich What you need is the fork application (designed for halftone stencils) of Rasterbator. A link can be found here [link] This program keeps a minimum gap so even your largest dots have bridges surrounding them!

Oh nice so what they all go on top of each other?!

yeh thats right.
when i make a cmyk halftone stencil i dont worry about yellow separation
and when painting i do the red layer first then blue, and do the black last.
