The analogue manga workflow

Before digital, every grey on a manga page was screentone: a printed adhesive film, cut to shape with a fine knife and burnished down with a spatula. Deleter has supplied that workflow to Japanese manga artists for decades, and many artists still use it for its look — real printed dots with a crispness that digital tone imitates.

Choosing a tone

The percentage is how much of the sheet the dots cover: 5% is a very light grey, 30% a mid-grey. 60-line is a fine dot that reads as a smooth grey on the page. Most artists start with a light tone for skin and sky, a mid tone for clothing and shadow, and a gradation for backgrounds and light effects.

Honest Note:

Screentone takes practice: cut too far and you slice your drawing, burnish too early and you cannot reposition. Work on a hard, smooth surface and keep unused tone on its backing sheet, away from heat and light, so the adhesive stays usable. Tone does not scan perfectly at every resolution — fine dots can create moiré patterns if you scan at low resolution.

Who is it For?

• Manga and comic artists working traditionally
• Illustrators who want real printed greys rather than digital tone
• Zine makers who want a classic manga look on the page

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Which tones should I start with?

10% and a 30% dot cover most needs; add a gradation for backgrounds.

Do I need special tools?

A Tone Knife to cut and a Tone Hera to burnish give the cleanest results.

Can I scan work with screentone?

Yes — scan at high resolution to avoid moiré.
