       Have you ever wondered why hatching in manga looks the way it does? I'm sure many of manga aficionados knew about the "tone" that is applied to manga, but I never could figure out how it creates such beautiful, kaleidoscope-like effects...Until I read a book on how manga is made!Turns out artists just take two or three translucent pages with patterns, and overlay them. I tried to simulate the effect, and realised it really does work wonders. If you try it yourself, you might even notice the (intentional?) artifacts caused by the tone layers ending abruptly.Incidentally, one can't make tone paper at home by simply printing tones on a regular paper. I know inkjet printers can print on special translucent plastic sheets ("transparent paper"), but I don't think laser printers can do that.Edit: yes they can, I used one a long time ago and forgot lol T_TI wonder why I didn't see this technique used around here.

       "you wouldn't draw with a knife"mind you, it's all quite regular paper, even if thicker than regular printing paper
