You might be familiar with halftone patterns being used in printing. While they are essential for that specific medium, halftone patterns also provide a very unique look to design work. Halftone is a technique that simulates tone gradations by using dots. These dots, vary in size, spacing and sometimes even shapes to generate a halftone gradient effect. The closer and bigger the dots on the pattern, the darker the image is. The opposite is for lighter areas, the dots are smaller and more spread out. When it is all put together, the halftone effect creates the illusion of gradation when seen from afar. Nowadays it is commonly used digitally to achieve a comic book look, representing nostalgia for the past in the digital age. It is also used for screen printing and grunge effects.

Great tutorial. I'm doing something wrong though, "The selected artwork contains an element that cannot be used in an art brush" AI-CS6 thanks

I follow these step precisely and get Radically different results in photoshop 2020. Even trying it with just a base color I'm getting Black and white backgrounds out of nowhere. What settings on my Document are so jacked up? I can't find answers to my issue anywhere!
As the previously perfectly round dots obviously become distorted ellipses of some kind with the Illustrator brush (dependent on line weight and/or length of the stroke), I don't really think this is a viable way to achieve neat halftone effects. Also, within Photoshop a useful halftone brush should be controllable regarding the size of the dots to simulate darker or lighter parts of a picture or illustration. I cannot quite see what you should use that sort of a "fixed" or "static" brush for.
Excellent explanation regarding halftones...but what about deftones?
Envato Tuts+ Cuando aplico semitonos a la imagen de ven grandes puntos, lo que usted muestra se ven puntos muy pequeños y ¿por que? pasa eso
My brush in Illustrator still didn't change color for some reason. Followed the steps, filled the stroke, selected hue shift etc. Weird. Thank you for the video nonetheless! Very helpful.
nice voice
for illustrator the easiest way is just use the raster effect , make the image really big and then trace the image...
the thumbnail already hurts my eyes
Nice tutorial, but it does not actually create a dot pattern brush with the dots being continuous. If you wanted to paint a series of dots that mimic a vintage magazine or comic book image you need a series of dots without the center black tone. Maybe you can add a layer pattern of dots and add or subtract to your image but you cannot paint the dots in Photoshop. Sorry, but nice try.
