Reddit mentions of IC Manga Screen Tone S-61

so that was almost cirtenly done digitaly. almost all production work in manga or comics is finished digitaly now. but the traditional tools to acomplish this are called screentones, basicly transparant stickers that you cut into the shapes you need.

somthing like this is an example https://www.amazon.com/IC-Manga-Screen-Tone-S-61/dp/B004GTLA0K

If you're looking for resources, don't search how to draw manga. You'll be directed to shitty western imitations. Good mangaka seek to master existing industry styles (kata). Know the rules before you break them. Try search terms like キャラデッサン (character design) or 美少女デッサン (beautiful woman design) on Amazon Japan.


You can also draw scenes from background reference books and then layer characters from pose reference books using tracing paper. You can further the authentic look using screentones such as these. Put all those materials together and you can pump out some "wow" quality work with very little effort - even if your character designs are rudimentary.


Finally, I'd recommend the structure of man as an all-in-one figure drawing course. But what would I know, I just paint skateboards.
