Second Chance: Screentones

Hellooo

Welcome back to our weekly feature. The theme this week is "screentones", as in those used in most manga instead of colours. Traditionally they were used to add some texture easily and it's cheap to print, but you have to admit that when done properly it's not just putting a random tone to make shadows, it's an art in itself and they make a page stand out. Lets see some of your suggestions to see what I mean:



Awesome stuff, don't you think?  I encourage everyone to full-view and show them your love if you feel so inclined

For those new here or interested in previous features, you can see our previous entries here richten.deviantart.com/favouri…

Now for our next feature we will do something sort of related:
Hatching

You know, to shade or give tone you make closely spaced parallel lines, you can also make the lines cross to make cross-hatching and get different effects using them. Generally it's used in black and white drawings, but you can also use them with colours, for example with coloured pencils, for great effect. Any kind of hatching technique will do. As long as the drawing is also anime it will be considered. Also, like I always say, don't be afraid of suggesting creative interpretations of the theme, it's not only accepted but it's encouraged, so it has very high chances of being featured. You can suggest your own work or the work from someone else. Just post a link below.

Finally, remember I'm always open to suggestions for future themes. No theme is too weird, I will hear anything and it will likely be used eventually.

Now get postin'
