September Challenge Day 28
There are a number of different types of strokes used in pen & ink drawing but I think the most difficult is stippling.
Like most of the other strokes, stippling can be used for many subjects but it is probably most suited to delicate items. However, I find that I get carried away and often end up with a section where the dots are too dense. That means I have to go back and increase the dots elsewhere to balance the composition. Stippling is also very time consuming and, while I like the effect, I usually want to work at a faster rate.

Wow, this is amazing Val. Very soft and delicate. High five for taking on such a time consuming technique at the tail end of a long challenge :) I love the leaf details too :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila. I needed to leave it to the end to get my skills warmed up - lol.
DeleteRoses are one of my favorites flowers and you've sketched this one beautifully Val!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of discipline to participate in the 30 day challenge, well done!
Thanks Laura. Doing the challenge made this month even busier and I am glad it is almost over - lol.
