Manga shading tutorial : idea 2
One of the methods used in Japanese manga to add shading to manga is shading with tones.
We start from the previous stage, after we have colored the required areas, we choose the option shown in the image, from the menu on the right of the screen, and do not forget to remain on the same shading layer.
From the list of options, we choose the type of manga shading that we want, whether it is lines, dots, or other things. I have specified for you the place that allows you to modify. You can control the clarity of the “tones,” such as enlarging and reducing the lines and dots, and others.
You can modify the shading type at any time later

Here we select the entire body of the character, using the Selection Tool, as you can see
Then we add a new layer, and color it with the desired shading color. After that, we choose from the list of options the “Multi Play” option, which will convert the layer to a shading layer, and the rest of the details of the drawing will appear.
Then, we drag the shading layer to the direction we want, as shown below
The last thing we will do is to add a “mask” to it, and thus the shading of the manga character is ready, and identical to the drawing that we drew.
Through the opacity option, you can adjust the intensity of the color, or soften it
I hope that the explanation was light and pleasant for you today, and there will be more explanations, God willing. See you well.
