Stipple

Stipple is a technique in which you use dots to create the value or shading. Below: **this is a good example**. Notice the nice range of values, the background, and the good use of space. This was also created from a photo, not from a drawing, or computer generated image.
 * Stipple Drawing**
 * Put your dots closer together to create dark values, and farther apart to create light values. Areas that are meant to be white should be left without dots.



Below: **This isn’t a great example.** The use of a heavy outline is undesirable. Also, no background was used.

You will create a stipple picture.
