It's just a shape with a custom halftone pattern inside a clipping mask. OR it's a gradient with an angle applied that has been rasterized, then a halftone effect added, traced, and expanded with specific settings.

Custom halftone pattern with the angles adjusted.

I know there are brushes. I know it can be hand drawn. I know it can be achieved in PS. But how the heckaroni is this dude doing it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbYb4rAO7tX/?utm_medium=copy_link Well, I know he is using a shape with a gradient, and then rasterizing in greyscale. I've tried...

Hey Guys/Girls - trying to replicate a cool design I saw (for practice) and am coming up short. I'm looking to do this: And here is where i'm stuck. I can't quite seem to get the angles to line up. Any help would be AWESOME! Thanks.
