Description A pretty simple tutorial on how to screentone with photoshop. The technique is simple and quick and it gives pretty neat effects if you have the right patterns to apply ;D

Here are some that I have found on dA. I have my own set of patterns that I've collected from different free stock sites




If you have any questions feel free to contact me!

Here's the final result:

I'm sorry, but I have another question for you...

Where did you obtain the screen tone pattern that you used specifically for this piece? I like that one a lot, and would like to experiment around with it.

Thanks again, rydi1689.

Which one? Black hair, blonde hair, clothing, blanket ...? There are many!

EmyRem In reply to rydi1689 [2010-09-26 19:08:21 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I didn't notice there were different patterns for different parts. I'm rather new to this all.

The hair, to start off. Lavi and Allen both. I like that effect most of all. If you can remember where you got those patterns, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks, again.

rydi1689 In reply to EmyRem [2010-10-25 18:37:18 +0000 UTC]

I can't remember where I got these from but what I mainly do now is paint the hair the colour I want it and then add noise to it It gives a nice effect C: I'll let you know if I find the source again <3

Sorry for the late reply D:

I'm afraid I can't help you there since I don't have Photoshop elements, but you might want to ask your questons in a note sent to #MasterPhotoshop they have Photoshop elements and might be able to solve your questions!

The screenstones have to be added to the list manually, they aren't there by default.

Now I want to try out making a manga page... XD

Just one question... Did the first screentone pack in your description work in Photoshop for you? I can't get it to work for me.

Do you know how to turn images to patterns in Photoshop?

FeelingVeryLucky In reply to rydi1689 [2010-08-22 01:42:46 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I do. The problem is that the screentone pack is a .RAR file and my computer doesn't recognize those...

rydi1689 In reply to FeelingVeryLucky [2010-08-22 03:23:59 +0000 UTC]

try asking the deviant to send it to your mail as a .zip? or the images separatedly?

Love the tutorial. Now I wanna try it!

How, for the very first step, did you get the lineart so thin and clean? I take it you sketched the characters with a pencil, then scanned it... but what next?

Thanks for sharing with us!
