What is stippling? Stippling is a form of art that uses dots to create a larger image. It may be time consuming but can give your artwork a realistic look that cant be achieved in other drawing techniques. Stippling involves placing individual dots across a surface in a pattern. Instead of drawing a circle, you compose this shape with tiny dots, and shade it the same way to create the impression of depth. Stippling is an exercise in the balance of positive and negative space, or space within a shape and space that's empty. When stippling, many effects are created by the amount of negative space you leave.
