Hello everyone!
I've been hard at work on Sacred vol.2 and while answering my cousins questions about screen tone i thought "WOW!! i'd love to do a tutorial on that!!" so here it is! :3
this is a little over view of the BASICS of using tone / adhesive tone/ comic tone/ manga tone etc. (it goes by a TON of names XD ) like it states in the tutorial, some things might seem like common sense BUT you'd be surprised how long it takes for one to learn these lessons LOL trial and error, messing up, and finding tone scraps on your pets are JUST a few of the issues! ROFL
i hope you'll enjoy this guys!! HAVE FUUUN!! and feel free to ask questions!!

I only tone digitally right now
but I assume art school will ask me to tone on actual pictures so I'm going to fave this for future use and have it ready for linking to people who ask for a good toning tutorial

Oh god this helps SOO much, I just bought myself a pack of tones. Thanks for this!
But, I have a question, how fast do you say a sheet runs out? And where do you get your tones, because I get mine at akadot and they're...pricy. =n=

OMG!! i'm so happy this was so helpful to you, hun! 
oh sure! a sheet can run out in one shot OR after a few months 
i hope this helps you, hun!

Ahh, wow, you are really helpful! ;A;
I never even knew there was an english online Deleter shop- and the prices are lower, too. Thanks so much! Would you recommend buying the junior tones if I were making a one-shot shoujo (30~ or so pages)? D:
I'm so sorry for bombarding you with questions, ;n; I know you're probably busy!

i'm so glad i was able to help!
LOL don't worry about asking me questions! if any of us have the answers we should offer them to each other! <3 that's how we learn ;D so no worries, okay?
hmmm for a 30 page manga i say buy juniors for the designs (like hearts and plaid) but try to buy 2-3 sheets of the regular "dot tone" preferably SE-36 or SE-40
good luck hun!!

That is SO cool! I never knew that there were such things. I thought that the artists just manually did those designs with ink. Silly me lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes! it's a veeery old technique that's been around for decades! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I never knew that this Manga Shadings were made like this!
What a lot of work! Now I do not longer wonder that some artists need so long for doing one Manga book.
I thank you for explaining that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes! it's a very old technique! one that's been around for decades!
absolutely! this and that fact that they have over 200 pages of artwork to draw and ink XD it's a challenge and needs a lot of discipline, but it's so much fun! 
it was my pleasure, my dear! thank you so much for enjoying this tutorial!

You are extremely ambitious to do old school toning. I watch to watch an art group in Japan do stuff like this, but as I have a huge fear of cutting myself I do any toning (which is next to none currently) on the computer, however, I want to thank you for doing a tut like this. It's very informative.

👍: 0 ⏩: 0
isnt there a way to do this digitally
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL of course there is, but in Japan they predominantly use screen tone
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
really?but arent there profesionals who do the screen tone for you..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you can chose to have helpers, but i don't trust anyone XD LOL i know what i want and it's sometimes hard to explain my vision to others well enough for them to do it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so all the hard work pays off?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes of course! art is never easy! it's always a challenge, and i for one LOOOVE a good challenge XD LOL all the hard work is always worth it
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That looks like a lot of work!! How long does it take to tone a whole page when you're working on Sacred?
You just made making manga look like even more work. I can't believe you finish a whole volume so quickly!
Thanks for the helpful tutorial
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL it's only a lot of work at first! 
LOL like i always say: when you love doing something it doesn't feel like work and you forget how much time you're putting into it :3 it's so much fun! but it's important to not have unrealistic expectations whe doing a manga, you know? i know i'm able to do 4-5 pages so i push for that, but once i'm done, i'm DONE! XD i dont' push for any more LOL
it was my pleasure, sweety! thank you so so MUCH for enjoying it!

ah..isn't it so tedious to do all this for every panel? xD
I wish they had like....something where you could place a screentone on using a computer...(If they do, well...im slow)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not at all
oh yes! there are a tone of programs that allow you to digitally apply tone to your pages, but it's still a process
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I've checked out books that included how to use and apply screen tone but they were barely clear and lacked photos to show you how to do it. I have manga manuscript paper, a4 for practice, but no screen tone because the store I went to stopped selling them because of lack of sale from it ;A;. Still have to find where to get some tho. Still, thank you!
