Why do so many mangaka fucking spam Screentones? It looks like dogshit One big example is Kengan. Show me 1 (One) good looking page.
You cant because everything is full of this shit.
Screentones
Robert Walker
Grayson Sanders
Show me an example of a screentone in a manga page I don't know what you're talking about
Anthony Perry
they are essential to manga, literally 99% of artists use it
Evan Lee
I'm not talking about people who use it lightly for shading when it makes sense. Look at This page, It looks good even with the screen tones because it looks natural.
Connor Gray
Or This
Samuel Lopez
All the clouds here are screentones, and it looks great for it.
Adds texture and interest to what would otherwise be flat color.
Liam Young
I get your point, but they are way too effective and convenient to just get rid of them. Some just make better use of it than others
Ayden Barnes
The issue is shit like this, That neck shading makes no sense and the depth doesnt work it looks flat.
Jordan Butler
Lurk more, retard.
Easton Foster
Then the problem isn't the screentone, it's that the artist doesn't understand shading.

This thread makes me angry.
Dylan Johnson
Kek this, OP contradicting himself
Elijah Campbell
I always thought it's because manga printing has been made a cheap as possible so the printers are physically unable to print grey, only black.
Christian Scott
>how do printers work
Joseph Russell
The problem is the artist, not screentones. They're often used as a way to cut corners by third-rate artists.
Sebastian Morgan
Can someone get me that screentone with the coiling snakes? I can never find them no matter how much I google
Julian Richardson
You sure it's not just the artist's own? Remaking a tileable texture something similar to that doesn't seem too hard.
Noah Brown
It's entirely possible, this is Japan we're talking about
Oliver Brown
magazine color pages are printing in greyscale in volume releases
Christian Robinson
It's comics for kids, why do you care so much, lol?
Juan Cook
One good page of Kengan you fucking retard
Tyler Ross
Kengan readers were mindbroken so often that they became retarded, please be patient with them
