The grey areas, shadow fills, skin tones, and background textures seen in printed manga are applied with screentone sheets: the artist cuts the sheet to the shape of the area to be toned, carefully lifts the cut piece, positions it over the artwork, and burnishes firmly to adhere it. The 61-01 pattern is the production standard regular dot — a mid-density, even halftone dot that works correctly at the reduction ratios used in standard manga printing. It is the first screentone pattern an analogue manga artist needs, the most versatile, and the pattern that defines the visual character of traditional manga toning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication — the technique in practice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScreentone application requires two tools: a craft knife for cutting and a burnisher (or smooth pen body) for adhering. Place the screentone over the area to be toned with the backing still on. Use a lightbox or hold the page to a window to see the artwork through the semi-transparent film. Mark the cutting line lightly, then cut along the edge of the area to be toned. Lift the cut piece carefully — the adhesive side faces down. Position over the artwork, press gently to tack in place, check alignment, then burnish firmly from the centre outward to fully adhere. The adhesive is repositionable briefly before full pressure is applied; once burnished it bonds permanently.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deleter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53231833874760,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/deleter-screentone-61-01-regular-dot","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
