Replicate the feel of four-color comics

Hi there, I wonder if there’s an easy way to replicate the feel of these comics: notice each color has a different pattern. Some colors are flat, some are dithered because they are achieved by mixing two or more colors with a pattern:

in these comics, there were actually only four colors: magenta, cyan, yellow, black. They were mixed with dithered patterns in order to create more colors. I think there was a fixed palette of colors.

Any idea how to obtain this? I suppose I need to create a brush which paints with two colors. But how? Each color should have a different dithering pattern… Thanks for advice :slight_smile:

Hi

You can take a look to this topic:

@djwaterman use it I think, there’s some discussion in topic about obtained results and differences with other tools.

Also the plugin was made before halftoning filter has been rewritten by @Deif_Lou
This post can help you to use the halftoning filter:

But in all case, I think you have to work with flat color and then, apply a filter.
Trying to paint with the effect directly might be hell :sweat_smile:
