This is how shading and gradation in manga was done in during pre-digital era; using screentones. Lots of meticulous shaping, scraping, scoring to get the desired shading effect.

Every. Single. Panel. Manga is hard work. 🥲

Watase has been drawing manga since debuting in 1989 at 18 years old!

Known for Fushigi Yugi, Ayashi no Ceres, and Arata Kangatari, Watase has been a storytelling powerhouse in both the shojo and shonen demographics.

What's your favorite Watase series?

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States.

Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth.

I'm really enjoying rewatching Mad Men thru all of these social media posts. Highlighting things I'd forgotten about.

[Sean Collins-Smith @SeanTwoNames]

One of my fav Bert Cooper moments in Mad Men is when Don shows up for work after getting beaten and robbed, goes into his office, finds Bert sitting in his chair, and Bert launches into a history lesson that ends with him threatening Don twice, and forcing him to sign a contract.
