Remember that Beyonce picture that I did, well this blog is about the stippling part of it, with pen and ink!!
There wasn't much else to do for this class because it was solely about corrections and marking. So without further adieu, here's the method to stippling:
Brief overview on stippling
This technique is also known as pointillism, (but in order to save your breath, we more commonly refer to it as stippling). It is basically consists of creating tonal values (a transition from light to dark) using individual dots! Light, medium and dark values are achieved by varying the quantity of dots, the space between the dots and the pressure used to create the dots.
So it means that a whole lot of dots, come together to make an image, and that is what I have to do to my Beyonce portrait. Now as I have said, I would be using pen and ink. Ink is permanent, it does not erase, so this means that there is literally NO room for error, one wrongly placed dot and it's bye bye Beyonce.
This is scary, I am genuinely scared and to make matters worse, I have to do it under a stipulated time period!
I guess we'll see how things work out, in the next post.
Until then, fellow bloggers..............
