AI Manga Style Brush Generator — Ink, Screentone, Panels
Name the ink you want — line weight, screentone, speed lines — and the panel comes back drawn that way, with your character still recognisable.
Where the ink actually comes from
Neta Studio is a creation platform, not a filter app. The panel is drawn from the words you give it — ink weight, screentone density, speed-line direction, where the blacks land — and it can hold a reference character's face and outfit while the rendering changes underneath. Every result is a work in a world, so you can fork it, restyle it, or lay three of them into a page on the board.
- Conventions, not filters — you type the ink rules: line weight, halftone on folds, speed lines along the motion, dense black at impact. Change one and only that part changes.
- The face survives the restyle — add a character reference and the ink pass keeps the hair, scars and outfit; the colour and cel shading are what gets replaced.
- Panels you can keep working on — each panel is a work in a world: fork it, redraw it in colour, or set three of them side by side to check the reading order.
Questions people ask before the first panel
Is this a brush pack I download?
No. There is no .abr file and nothing to install. You describe the brush in words — ink weight, screentone, speed lines — and the generator draws the panel with those rules. If you came for a Photoshop or Procreate brush, this is the wrong tool.
Will it keep my character's face?
With a reference, yes. Attach a character sheet, a cover or a screenshot and the ink pass keeps hair, scars and outfit while it swaps the rendering. Without one it invents a character from your description.
Can I get colour instead of black and white?
Yes. Drop “black and white” and “no colour” from the sentence. The line work stays; flat colour replaces the screentone. Black and white is the default because that is what reads as manga.
What can it draw besides single panels?
Character sheets, expression sets and multi-panel pages. Ask for a sheet and name the views; ask for a page and name the panel count and the reading order.
How do I get speed lines pointing the right way?
Say the direction: “radiating from the blade”, “horizontal, left to right”, “converging on the fist”. Speed lines on their own get you lines, not motion.
Why does the screentone look pasted on?
Because the sentence did not tie it to the form. “Screentone follows the folds” or “halftone under the chin” wraps it around the body; a bare “screentone” sits on top like wallpaper.
Can I put the panel into a real page?
Yes. Generate the panels you need and lay them out on a board next to each other. The empty speech balloon is left for your own lettering.
Does it hold up across a whole cast?
One panel per run keeps the style tight. For a cast, keep the same ink sentence and change only the character reference, so every panel shares one brush.
One sentence, one inked panel.
Describe the ink and the moment. It comes back in black and white, character intact, balloon empty and ready for your lettering.
