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!!

Nah I think it's interesting. I do my comics digital, or I use manga studio. But it's also fun to learn how to do it the traditional way too! ^^

LOL i'm such a traditional artist, is wear! XD i wanted to get manga studio and a few others but i love the process of cuting and what not ; __ ; kind like how my friends love painting digitally because there's no mess and now money to spend, i LOOOVE the smell fo paint and the mess it sometimes makes XD it's a different experience for each medium :3 it's fun!!

this tutorial is very helpful, before i would just peel off the screen tone after rubbing it onXD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sweety, thank you so MUCH!! so glad it could be of use to you!
peel it off after using it? as in, to re-use the tone?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
when i would rub the tone on i would think that it would appear on the paperXD then i just peel it off, now i know to keep it on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oooooh!! NOW i understand!! OMG! that would be a great invention though! o U o (to have something that you rub and it would leave the design behind! ) basically, tone is like a giant sticker! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that is a good invention. thank you for making this tutorial, and keep creating wonderful drawings.

see, this is why i'm going to use my toner gray markers instead of ANY screentone.
how much do screentones cost anyway?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LMFAO XDD traditional tone is seriously the most amazing mediums i've EVER used!! 
the process only seems long and tedious, but it actually goes by REALLY fast and has such a beautiful look
it really depends on where you get them!

so, total, how much do you think you spent (or would've spent, if it was a gift) on tones???

last year i bought roughly $200 :3 i've only used about $50-$60 worth of tone on Sacred vol.1 so most of what i bought is being used for Sacred vol.2 XD just like my markers, i only have to buy new materials ever 2-3 years
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You use deleter materials, right? 'cos I was thinking of buying the tone knife and hera from their website to try it out.. :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wow o: I've been using screentones for like a year now and there were one or two things in there that I hadn't thought of before. Really obvious ones too :/ Like the pencil business for marking out things and using gauche . Why didn't I think of that?? that'd be so much cheaper than a gel pen ahahah XD <3
and you are sooo right about the little pieces getting everywhere XD *literally just found a piece on her dress* lolol
and a page from the second volume eeee ;U; looks so good!
Thanks for the tutorial >w<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL i know how it is! XD it took me some time working with this material to figure out those little "common sense" things! it seems so obvious, right?! when i thought of using the pencil for instance, i was like "WTH?! why didn't i think of this before?!"
HAHAHAHAA!!!! XDDD *Giname has found pieces on his cats!! 
indeed!!! 
you're VERY welcome sweety!!

I was actually curious about this screen tone... Thanks for the tutorial x3

oh wow!! awesome!! 
aww you're welcome, my dear!

That's very helpfulXD. I had been afraid to use a pencil to help guide me while toning, actually. I don't know why. I'm paranoid.
And the last tip about stacking the tones is really helpfulXD. Because I usually stay up late toning, go to bed, and wake up covered in tiny pieces of tone. On my face and hands and everywhere@_@.

thank you hun!

I don't feel so bad about finding them on my corgi, then>w<.
Do you mind if I ask a question about how you make manga? I mean, if you use a crow quill/maru nib because I've been having some weird things happening when I use mine><.
