Production of old timey comics: Converting faded paper to white while retaining the color textures and screens is tough. Methods of achieving this in the comments:

Discord Army 1/2
This takes like three days to finish, but I've done the sketch months ago. At least this time I can take a break. I better not lie to myself like this. So, here it is.

Wanted to make the little men stand out using a zipatone effect. The Procreate halftone didn’t have the right look. I pulled a BenDay stipple file I made years back. So far, it’s as close to zipatone as I‘ve gotten.

Work will continue on the process.

There are #comicbookdots, then there are #BenDaydots. They are not the same. BenDay came the late 19th c. Comicbook dots are from the early 20th c. BenDay was more versatile but required special skills where comicbook dots just required dexterity with knives and scissors. This 1 from my postcards.

After creating #cymk dots in photoshop, I moved onto attempted the same with actual #BenDaydots. It was now quite a simple. There's no set of colors to work with. Every image could be any number of random colors and patterns.
Here's a closeup on one of my test pieces. Not as simple as comicbook dots

Still proud of this piece (and working on another with him)

which featured his first employment of #BenDaydots, #speechballoons and #comicimagery sourcing, all of which he is now known for.

Just adding some details I liked, specifically for the Ben Day dot/grainy coloring to evoke that particular kind of print image, which I have never done before. My favorites are the little spots where the color bleeds a bit into the adjacent shape.

Working on a new series of paintings inspired by early comic book art.

"Break" collage made entirely from LIFE magazine images (I think).
This is mounted on a masonite tray that has a cork back.
I love the way color looks from this era - the newsprint and ben-day dots.
Such saturation!

"When a screen meets a screen, then the screen in between, that's a moiré."

Moiré effect (aka moiré pattern)
Optical illusion created by overlapping screens of dot or line patterns. #bendaydots #offsetprinting #moireeffect #moirepattern
