Screentones
If you want to make a black and white comic you may want to use screentones to represent the shading. Luckily krita has a filter with which you can achive it! So here is little tutorial for it:
New document and set your color profile to gray scale. Draw your line art the add a new layer (and use a gray tone to do your shading first.)
Filter > Artistic >Halftone
In the Screen Generator tab you can adjust how your screentone should look like, its density (lower the number bigger the tones) and the colors it should use.
To have crisp lines:
in the Postprocessing tab set the hardness to 100!
When done click on Create filter mask! If you click on OK then you can't edit it later.
You can have more screentones with different shades on one layer this way. (Or you can use one layer per tone if you want to be able to change each tone later).
Tip: if you are working on a bigger project it helps to have a reference document with each tone and its gray scale equivalent!
