Authentic Halftone Pattern Brushes for Procreate

Halftone patterns are a fundamental part of print history, representing the technique printers used to simulate continuous tone images using dots of varying sizes. From the distinctive Ben-Day dots of vintage comic books to the coarse newsprint halftones of newspapers, these patterns have become iconic visual elements in their own right—synonymous with pop art, vintage comics, and retro design aesthetics. This collection brings authentic halftone patterns to Procreate for creating artwork with classic print texture and character.

The comic book dot patterns are essential for anyone creating pop art or comic-style illustrations. These include fine halftone dots for subtle shading, medium dots for classic comic book effects, and coarse dots for bold, graphic impact. Used famously by Roy Lichtenstein and synonymous with vintage Marvel and DC comics, these patterns instantly evoke the golden age of comic books. Layer them over illustrations to add authentic printed texture and nostalgic appeal.

Newspaper halftone patterns capture the distinctive grainy quality of newsprint, with their characteristic coarse dot structure and visible registration imperfections. Perfect for editorial illustration, political cartoons, or any design that wants to reference news media and journalism. The screen print patterns replicate the look of vintage silkscreen posters, with their characteristic ink texture and slight misregistration that adds to the handmade quality.

For more specialized effects, the line screen patterns use parallel lines instead of dots to create tone variation—common in architectural drawings and technical illustrations. The crosshatch halftones mimic traditional engraving techniques, while the mezzotint pattern delivers that distinctive grainy quality of early photographic reproduction. Use these halftone brushes to add instant vintage character to portraits, create authentic pop art compositions, or give any digital illustration the tactile quality of printed media.
