DuoShade Photoshop pattern from real scans
I made Photoshop patterns out of scans of old Grafix DuoShade paper. You can download them here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11Pab8Y8R2x4a-Hy4tlprsZN-ORZlCsC-/view?usp=sharing (17MB ZIP file)
Grafix DuoShade (often called DuoTone) was a type of paper that had hidden patterns that could be revealed by applying special chemicals. It was frequently used in illustrations in the 80s and 90s. I primarily associate it, as I imagine many do, with the early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics. The small, straight diagonal lines used for shading in some of the illustrations in this post are examples of that. My friend David Marshall writes more extensively about the paper here. Below is a comics page I toned using the patterns I made (from the comic Welcome to Typhon).
These Photoshop patterns were created from a 600pdi scan of a sheet of Grafix DuoShade paper (hand labelled as ā240ā, whatever that means) given to meĀ by the great Jim Lawson from dwindling reserves of Mirage Studios. You can download the raw scans of the paper here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XHhlgakL_MjZvAY7JRAGaZ4R3VQ204pe/view?usp=sharing (25MB TIF file)
Do whatever you want with these files, but donāt resell them. If you use them, feel free to let me know! ([email protected]) Crediting me (Colin Panetta, colinpanetta.com) would be a very nice thing to do. Even nicer would be tipping me, which you can do here.
Features:
There are two patterns- one with a single direction of diagonal lines, and one with two directions of diagonal lines that cross (as pictured at the top of this page).
Those two patterns can be overlaid on top of each other and will line up.
These files contain the black part of the patterns only. The white part of the pattern (the negative space) is transparent, so the pattern can easily be overlaid on top of any other imagery.
I left the patterns as PSDs so you can monkey with them if you want. Before creating the patterns you can turn them a color, apply further texture to them, apply a background color, etc.
Directions:
Open the pattern files in Photoshop.
For each, go to the menu and select āEditā > āDefine Patternā¦ā Give them an identifiable name for later reference.
Open or create the Photoshop file you wish to apply the patterns to.
Create two new Layers and set their Fill to 0%.
Apply one of the patterns to each of the Layers by selecting Layer Style (the "fx" icon) > āPattern Overlayā¦ā and selecting the patterns you just created.
Draw on each of the layers to bring out the patterns!
Notes:
Due to the fact that these patterns are made from scans of the actual stuff, they are full of good ol' analog imperfections. If you want perfection, make a pattern from scratch in Photoshop. (David can help with that.)
I did my best to make these patterns overlay on top of each other seamlessly. But due to the varying consistency of the lines, matching the edges perfectly proved to be a bear and the edges are more visible than Iād like.
It was also difficult to find a swath large enough that the repeating nature of the pattern wouldnāt be apparent. But unless you're applying the pattern in large, flat chunks I don't think itāll be noticeable.
Tips:
By default your patterns should be displaying at 100%. So, since these patterns were scanned at 600dpi, if your document is set at 600dpi then the patterns will be the size they would have been on an actual sheet of DuoShade paper. If your document is 300dpi, compensate by shrinking the pattern by 50% (by clicking on the "Pattern Overlay" layer style and editing the Scale).
The more you scale the pattern down from its original size, the more apparent the repeating nature of the pattern will be.
You can apply a background color to the pattern by not setting the Fill for the layer to 0% and setting your brush to be a specific color.
And now here are a couple videos I shot of myself using the actual paper.

The Mummy is a 1932 American pre-Code horror film directed by Karl Freund. The screenplay by John L. Balderston was from a story by Nina Wilcox Putnam and Richard Schayer. Released by Universal Studios, the film stars Boris Karloff, Zita Johann, David Manners, Edward Van Sloan and Arthur Byron. The film is about an ancient Egyptian mummy named Imhotep who is discovered by a team of archaeologists and inadvertently brought back to life through a magic scroll. Disguised as a modern Egyptian, the mummy searches for his lost love, whom he believes has been reincarnated into a modern girl. This movie is another personal favorite of mine. Itās lite on āhorrorā and chock full of romance instead. Itās just one of those films Iāll always sit and watch. Trying only the 'tapered pen' tool for inking in Clip Studio Paint Pro on this one. #clipstudio #digitalart #art #clipstudiopaint #drawing #illustration #artist #digital #sketch #artwork #duoshade #digitaldrawing #draw #artistsoninstagram #wacom #digitalillustration #instaart #digitalpainting #universalhorror #boriskarloff #characterdesign #myart #doodle #comics #themummy1932 #illustrator #painting #zitajohann #shawnvanbriesen (at West Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBzYu-BAtgC/?igshid=76irpzhkop80
Gun Crazy (also known as Deadly Is the Female) is a 1950 American crime film noir directed by Joseph H. Lewis, and produced by Frank King and Maurice King. The production features Peggy Cummins and John Dall in a story about the crime-spree of a gun-toting husband and wife. The screenplay by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumboācredited to Millard Kaufman because of the blacklistāand by MacKinlay Kantor was based upon a short story by Kantor published in 1938 in The Saturday Evening Post. In 1998, Gun Crazy was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." This is the latest in my exploration of Clip Studio. This is a quick ink and color. #clipstudio #digitalart #art #clipstudiopaint #drawing #illustrationĀ Ā #artist #digital #sketch #artwork #duoshade #digitaldrawing #draw #artistsoninstagram #wacom #digitalillustration #instaart #digitalpainting #manga #harlow #characterdesign #myart #doodle #comics #originalcharacter #illustrator #painting #peggycummins #shawnvanbriesen (at West Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBwPWFsgUT4/?igshid=y06p0smk4540
To Have and Have Not is a 1944 American romance-war-adventure film directed by Howard Hawks, loosely based on Ernest Hemingway's 1937 novel of the same name. It stars Humphrey Bogart, Walter Brennan and Lauren Bacall; it also features Dolores Moran, Hoagy Carmichael, Sheldon Leonard, Dan Seymour, and Marcel Dalio. The plot centers on the romance between a freelancing fisherman in Martinique and a beautiful American drifter, which is complicated by the growing French resistance in Vichy France. Ernest Hemingway and Howard Hawks were close friends and, on a fishing trip, Hawks told Hemingway, who was reluctant to go into screenwriting, that Hemingway could make a great movie from his worst book, which Hawks admitted was To Have and Have Not. Jules Furthman wrote the first screenplay, which was set in Cuba like the novel. However, the screenplay was altered to be set in Martinique instead of Cuba because the portrayal of Cuba's government was believed to be in violation of the United States' Good Neighbor policy with Latin American countries. Hawks's other good friend, William Faulkner, was the main contributor to the screenplay, including and following the revisions. Because of the contributions from both Hemingway and Faulkner, the film represents the only film story on which two winners of the Nobel Prize of Literature worked. Filming began on February 29, 1944, while Faulkner continued to work on the script, and ended on May 10. This is the latest in my exploration of Clip Studio Paint Pro. Inked entirely with the 'Real G-Pen' tool and colors with the paint tools. #clipstudio #digitalart #art #clipstudiopaint #drawing #illustration #filmnoir #artist #digital #sketch #artwork #duoshade #digitaldrawing #draw #artistsoninstagram #wacom #digitalillustration #instaart #digitalpainting #manga #darkpassage #characterdesign #myart #doodle #comics #originalcharacter #illustrator #painting #laurenbacall #shawnvanbriesen (at Brentwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_jizOAocD/?igshid=16fay9rck33g9
