When I first started thinking about the blog posts I wanted to write, the stippling technique came to mind almost instantly. Sadly, I completely forgot about it until now.
So, here I go.
For those of you who don't know what stippling is:
Stippling is the creation of a pattern simulating varying degrees of solidity or shading by using small dots.
(Thanks Wikipedia)
My definition would have been: Art using dots.
Now, I know what you are thinking ' art with dots, whaaaaaaaaaaat?! '
I remember the first time I learned about stippling, the artsy fartsy teacher was just so excited about it. She thought it would be fun to learn something new, and so did I.I thought wrong. This was not fun at all, and probably wouldn't be if you're impatient and a perfectionist like I am. I went through several papers, different types of pencils and pens which resulted in a garbage full of trash. Needless to say, I sucked and learning something new was hard.
After writing this though, it really makes me want to try again. Maybe if I stick it out and practice for, lets see... more than a day or two... I can figure it out. Cross your fingers for me.
This beauty is simply stippled perfection.
I do not know who the artist is because I just found the image on Google, but props to them. I could only dream of being patient enough to finish something like this.
But hey, a girl can dream.
I found an awesome video for you guys on the wonderful page of YouTube.
Don't worry though, it is sped up so you can see it beginning to end. It may be a tad slow but I recommend you watch it all.
Now, is your mind blown because it should be :)
ArtofTonyNero, pretty amazing work.
