: How to achieve half tone effect I'd like to use this sort of a half tone effect on shadows shown in this image. How is this achieved?

@Kimberly620

Photoshop has a built in halftone filter (Filter>Other>Color halftone) that can create this effect.

It looks like it was created with a brush preset or pattern brush.

I would download any preset you find that you like and then just play around with the opacity settings.

It is comprised of several layers at <50% opacity.

This is just a quick example of how to achieve it.



If you want to do this is Illustrator you can find a lot of pre-made vector patterns or brushes. Then you again would just play around with the opacity to achieve the desired effect.

In Photoshop...

Duplicate your layer via copy.

Convert the new file (the copy) to grayscale, than to bitmap. Leave the resolution untouched.

Aplly a halftone as your desire.

Convert it back to grayscale, than to RGB.

Drag that layer back to the original illustration.

See the image bellow.
