*Dotted tones
Dotted tones have
a direction. And unless you have a specific reason
for doing so,
you need to post the tone the right way.
In general, use a bigger dotted tone for closer
objects, and a smaller dotted tone for farther
objects in your drawings to represent the depth
of the field.

*Moaire
Maire is a fascinating visual effect created by
laying two tones like in these examples.
|
 |
|
| |
|
|
On tone screen
sheets, you might see these numbers like 65 L
20%. The number before "L" represents
the number of lines in one inch, And the percentage
means the darkness. Bigger numbers are darker.
If you layer two different L number tones, Maire
occurs.
So use the same L number screen to layer.
Also, if you layer the tones in different directions.
Moire might occur. So be careful.

*How to grip
your cutter
Basically, you can grip your cutter however you
like, but there are a couple of correct ways to
grip a cutter. When you scratch a tone for creating
a sun beam like below, please refer to the below
picture for gripping the cutter correctly.

 |
|
| |
|
| *When
you want the effect like below, hold your cutter
like in the below picture. The usage of cutter makes
the cutter blade worn out easily. If you notice
this, cut it off to create a new one. |

*The direction to scratch
tones for making a basic blurry effect)
Let's try scratching both directions like these

blurry effect in these directions.
When you want a beautiful blurry effect, avoid
scratching in these directions.

*Let's make
a beautiful blurry effect together. First of all,
decide the area in which you want to start scraching.
|
 |
|
| *Scratch
completely the area that you want to start blurring.
|
 |
|
| |
|
| *Scratch
in this directlion carefully to make the blurry
effect. |
 |
|
|
*At last, get
rid of the right part completely to finish.
Wow!!! What a beautiful blurry effect !

|
*Work
with a rubber eraser
Using a rubber eraser on tones creats blurry effects,
too. The effects are softer than using a cutter.
But be careful, don't rush erasing, or you won't
get beautiful effects. |
