Description
Just felt like trying something with screentones... did this on a very chill, melancholy day while waiting for finals....I don't suppose anybody knows a better resource for finding screentones? The patterns I use in Photoshop are a bit... tacky at times.

I adore the poetic aspects of this piece; it appears simple and quite plain at a first glance, but should the viewer take but one moment to better examine and appreciate the composition, the subject's expression, and the colour, one can certainly sense a good lot of depth hidden within: emotional, contemplative depth.

Like all of your other work, this is absolutely amazing. I'm loving how there is no color, it really adds to the mood of the picture.

I didn't notice anything wrong with this. But then again I'm not an artist so I won't notice those things. I like what you've got here.

There's really only two good options for using screen tones digitally:
Buy some singles online (don't buy from art stores on these, I got a pack of 5 sheets online a few years ago for around a dollar, every store I've seen has singles for 9), scan them in, and use the pattern maker to make a pattern brush for it.
Splurge on one of those "Create your own Manga" softwares. Yeah, basically everything in them is crap, but they generally have a huge cash of screen tone patterns and are pretty easy to apply through them.
I wish I could remember where I ordered those tones from, though...

Yeah, I've been looking at Manga Studio Debut by smith micro... I tried the demo, and it's a disaster as far as user-friendliness goes, but I bet it'd be really handy for toning.
I'll go ahead and hunt for some single sheets, though - that sounds like a pretty good method! Thanks a bunch!
