I am kind of in love with halftones, now that I know how to competently create them.

He'd rip it right off.

don't suppose you could share your process? my halftones always end up looking quite terrible, and i have no idea how to make them look good with color!

It's actually really easy, that's why I can do it. hah.

Start with a whole image in photoshop, convert it to grayscale, and then a bitmap, and choose halftone screen as your filter. You probably want to do 20 or so dots and inch, but mess with it to see what you like, at a 45 degree angle, but again, that's your perogative. Then, take that image and paste it on a new layer in a new photoshop project, like with the lineart you want it on. Put it under the linework, and then, under the halftones, put whatever color you want to show through on another layer. Set the halftone layer to the screen setting, and you should be gold.

You can make the halftone out of a photograph, a gradient, or a solid color, but it will convert to grayscale, so, add colors back in again by reusing the same color or image in the screen.

If I'm super confusing let me know.
