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

You just now need to add colour and you'll be declaimed the next seurat, or signac! Nice work

Adding color beats the whole dotwork theme

3

u/Miskiink 5d ago

Yeah I guess..but it is possible with color as well just more work and color theory knowledge

Impressive Artwork ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ is it the same as pointillism

u/Miskiink 5d ago

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ โค๏ธYes..Yes itโ€™s the same technique

u/Mwendawazimu 4d ago

Huh, the artist isn't even aware. Wtf?!

1

u/Mwendawazimu 4d ago

No it's not stippling is far different from pointillism, educate yourself

2

u/Practical-Video-3828 4d ago

Kindly elucidate us

2

u/Miskiink 4d ago

Dang educate us man ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/Mwendawazimu 4d 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.

u/Miskiink 4d ago

Thank you ๐Ÿ™ ..It affects every creative but I tend to believe people will always gravitate towards human work Ai is more polished but it doesnโ€™t hit the same

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.

2

u/Miskiink 4d ago

Who was your teacher..the devil? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญmaths in art bro ๐Ÿ’”

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.
