I'm having trouble with this one. From the various examples i've seen, it really depends on how the illustrator does it. But is there a common feature that i'm missing when doing exterior night illustrations?
I've seen mangaka do a regular drawing with a screen tone over it.
I've seen black and white drawings that just use an abundant amount of black to create dark shadows. I'm no where good enough to do that.
If you use manga studio/clip studio, what screentone density and line number do you use and what type of tone do you use so it doesn't look like gray scale. That is what i'm really having trouble with.
I want to be consistent but i fear that each time i do an exterior night panel, it looks different from the rest.
Naruto Example
Monster Musume
i'm pretty sure i can draw, or at least line art a panel. What would be the easiest or at least simplest way of doing night scenes without it distracting or ruining the entire panel. Right now i think i should just do what Naruto does and just have a black background and everything just stays the same. But then i feel like i'm missing out on establish the tone (ha ha, a pun there) for the scene.
