What Is a Stippling in Art?

Stippling is a drawing technique in which areas of light and shadow are created using nothing but dots. The basic idea is simple: For darker areas, you apply a greater number of dots and keep them close together. Then for progressively lighter areas, use fewer dots and space them farther apart.

The stippling technique

Stippling is the art created by using dots of the same, or different sizes and colours. I would love to see some rainbow creations in a stippling technique. If you enjoyed using stippling, maybe you could create another image too!

How do you start stippling art?

If you want to learn or improve your stippling art, it would be a good idea to begin with basic shapes. Start with a two-dimensional square or circle, and try to create a simple dark to light value gradient. Focus on placing circular, consistent dots while avoiding flake marks by working too fast.
