SCREEN TONE is a sticky-backed transparent sheet printed with dots
or patterns. To use it, cut out a piece to place over your character's hair or clothes, then use an X-ACTO KNIFE to cut around the exact outline. This method adds gray tones and patterns that
make your comic more detailed and professional! LOOK! >>>
A white poster PAINT PEN is great for adding white designs to black clothing
or white highlights to black hair. And of course a BLACK SHARPIE is needed for large areas
of black - don't wear out your brush pen coloring in hair, eyes and backgrounds!

But before you place your SCREEN TONE, you'll need a dual end BRUSHPEN to
inking your characters. Choose a black brushpen for outlines - the brush end is great for characters and hair, while
the fine point is good for dialogue and panel outlines.

PRISMACOLOR or COPIC MARKERS
are good choices for coloring your comic. You can use the gray sets instead of screen tones to get a watercolor effect,
or use the color sets to create full-color manga artwork. Ask for a sample marker to test, to see which brand
you prefer.
When you test a MARKER, first color in an area, wait a moment until it dries, then
color over half of that area -- this is how you would shade a character in your comic. If possible, test the marker
on the paper you are planning to use -- marker paper or manga paper is best, so that the marker doesn't bleed, making fuzzy
edges to your areas of color.
