This brush set contains the same screen tones as the ones in my screen tone collection 1.

Accessing and using the brushes

If you open your pencil/smudge/eraser menu, you will see a new entry in your brush library named “Stef’s Screen Tones V1”.

You can now select the desired screen tone and apply it onto your manga drawing. The higher the density (ppp value) the darker the shade of grey will be.

The best is to use the screen tone brushes is to apply them on a dedicated layer. This allows you easily correcting the applied screen tone in case it goes outside of your drawing.

Note that the resolution (in ppp/ppi, or points per inch) is not 100% accurate due to actual limitations in Procreate brush settings.

  1. はじめまして。
    ダウンロードしてみた結果をお伝えしますが、紹介画面で見ていたモアレ現象はウェブで見ているからではなくて、ブラシそのものも残念ながらそうでした…。
    出来ればモアレ現象が発生していないトーンだとめっちゃ嬉しいのにーと思いました!
