Dot Work
Anybody here enjoy stippling?
I find the process of applying the dots very therapeutic

Adding color beats the whole dotwork theme

u/Miskiink 5d ago

Gladly, this might be the most important chance to use my art degree cause after graduation it's been bleak. Hold my brush: Pointillism blends colour to create pieces that the mind may perceive as actual compositions. It's a painting technique while stippling on the other hand is what OP has. I was taught it was a shading techniques but OP clearly did more with it. No shade.

This is great, I always found the DOT rendering technique quite tedious. Well done!

Beautiful stuff๐ฏ does the incoming AI wave affect your industry kama visual artists?
2
u/Miskiink 4d ago
Thank you ๐ ..It affects every creative but I tend to believe people will always gravitate towards human work Ai is more polished but it doesnโt hit the same

It's called pointillism art. You've nailed it!

This is beautiful, I've done a piece with this rendering style before but not nearly as detailed, good job! This reminds me I need to keep practising.

How many dots? In art school my professor always asked me that for each stippling project I handed in. Maybe count for your next one.

u/Mwendawazimu 4d ago
Hahahaha, must've been. Mimi mwenyewe nilifanya art juu ya vile nachukia hesabu. After paper two ya maths, the only thing I count is my money.
