ah. lucky you I can't draw on teh tablet to save my life..it's too hard for me to eye and match it like that..I get frusterated very fast.

the reason my pressure died is one time when I did a virus scan, it thouht the wacom program was untrustworthy and automatically deleted it..my tablet workes but none of the buttons etc... I just havent been able to find my cd to reinstall it yet. Cuz I lazy and can't put stuff away. Go through your programs to make sure its still there..if it is I have no idea sorries

and for the way cheesy answer - Way too long Storyboarding and drawing the chapter comes first and that takes days (in between school). My old way of making it digital was then to scan it and trace it and THEN tone it. The digial part alone took almost a whole day per page I was lucky to do two pages a day..but then my pen pressure died and I kept getting pooh.

So now I just spend an extra hour after drawing it to darken my lines, scan it clean up and tone my sketches, it saves me the 4 hours it took to digitaly trace it.

Sorry for babbling.

ah. thank you!

My screen tones are a bunch of things, I have collected screen tone patterns from comic supply stores and scanned them in and done some that way, others were made from materials around the house, for example in this picture the screen tone for the darker shirt is basically a scan of sand paper. But doing things this way require a lot of patience to get what you want, playing with shape value and size make a big difference. Another way that's faster and easier is going to Deviantart.com and searching for "screen tones" or "Textures" a lot of artists were kind enough to put some of there own screentones up for download there.

I hope this was helpful.
