A gradient screentone fills an area with a tone that changes — from visible and dense at one edge to transparent at the other. This transition is one of the most distinctive visual elements of professional manga: the sky that fades from dark at the top to white at the horizon, the emotional close-up where the background dissolves from a full tone into pure white, the action panel where the background recedes into atmosphere. The 52-01 is the lighter of the two gradient patterns in the range — it begins with a relatively light dot and fades to transparency. This makes it suitable for subtle atmospheric effects, gentle sky gradations, and skin tone transitions where a more dramatic gradient would be too heavy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation matters — planning the cut\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gradient on the 52-01 sheet runs across the long dimension of the A4 sheet. When cutting a piece for a panel, the orientation of the cut determines the direction of the gradient in the panel. For a sky that is darkest at the top and fades to white at the horizon, the dense-dot end of the gradient should face upward in the panel. For a background that fades to white behind a character, the transparent end should face the character. Plan the cut before removing the backing — the gradient direction cannot be adjusted after burnishing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deleter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53231864971592,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/deleter-screentone-52-01","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
