Screens are patterns that can be cut or scratched and applied to the illustration to produce highly creative effects.
In the same way as a transfer, the screen is passed over the drawing after the colour has been finalised. They are widely used by mandalas to save time on the background, or form of manga boxes. The result is a very regular pattern that will be superimposed on the colour.
Make sure you use the screen after colouring for best results, otherwise it may come unstuck.
Effects of speed, graphic patterns, dotted patterns or patterns representing different textile stitches allow you to play with the screen. Mandalas use this technique to shade or create lighting effects. They are also used by illustrators, stylists and graphic designers.
