YAY to the internet :D

I have finally worked out how to use screen tones (for those who don't know they are what you use to colour in black and white comics) Thank you internet for teaching me something for once....

To those who have been  searching for instructions on this I will give you what I know :D


  • On Adobe Photoshop bring up the picture you wish to screen tone.
  • Find a screen tone pattern on the internet you wish to use.
  • On a second page paste the screen tone pattern.
  • Zoom in to maximum and crop ONLY 4 Pixels anything more will screw up the pattern.
  • Go to edit and scroll down to define pattern.
  • Go back to your original picture and create a second layer.
  • Set that layer to multiply and use the pattern stamp to colour in the patch you wish to colour.
  • Because the layer is on multiply the lineart behind will show through.
  • Rub out the excess screen tone with the eraser.
  • Use separate layers set on multiply for each different screen tone pattern to make editing simpler
Hope this helps all those who need it..... :D
