<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe stippling technique refers to drawing multiple small dots to simulate diverse levels of shading in a drawing. It is one of the most time-consuming pen and ink techniques. The closer the dots are to each other, the darker and more solid the area becomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create each dot by gently pushing the nib of the pen against the paper. The smaller the nib size of the pen, the smaller the stippled dots will be, thereby increasing the amount of detail in the drawing. Consider the size of the nib you use and stay frosty! This technique gives the greatest control over the contrast between light and dark in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideally, to achieve a good rendering stippling, all dots should be of the same size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling are practical ways of adding the desired texture without having to use an excessive amount of ink in your ink drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
