How To Create Comic Action Lines and Halftone Patterns in Photoshop Using Comic Kit

Welcome back to another very exciting tutorial here at the photoshop-training-channel.com. My name is Jesus Ramirez and you can find me on Twitter at JR from PTC. In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to create comic action lines and halftone patterns in Photoshop. For this tutorial, we're going to use a free script called comic kit. This add-on was created by Daichi Ito who works for Adobe as a user experience designer. He also created the flame generator and the tree generator which are now built into Photoshop. I've done tutorials for both plugins which you probably have seen. If not, look at the description below for the links to those tutorials. If you want to keep up with Daichi and his work, you can follow him on his Behance page. behance.net/daich that is d a i c h. So, the first thing that you need to do for this tutorial is install the comic kit add-on which allows you to create highly customizable screen patterns, zoom lines, and speed lines. You can download comic kit at this URL or you can simply click on the link in the description of this video. You will need an Adobe ID to install this add-on. After you log in, you will need to click on the free button that will appear in this area. I've already installed the add-on so my button instead reads view my add-ons. As a side note, you may also want to download the cloth texture generator which allows you to add realistic cloth textures to your designs and illustrations. I don't think Daichi coded this add-on, but it was created by someone else at Adobe. In any case, it's a great add-on and one that you should definitely try. Once you've installed comic kit, you should be able to follow along with this tutorial. We're going to use this quick drawing that I created specifically for this video and we're going to get to add some dramatic zoom lines using comic kit. You can download this image from my website if you want to follow along. Okay, let's get started with a tutorial. Now, before we continue, make sure that you have the script installed in your version of Photoshop, that way you can follow along. So, I'm working with two files. I have a background layer, which is just a white background, and this character layer here, and I'm going to add one more blank layer, and I'm going to put that blank layer in between the character and the background,
