Description
Hello all!
I just finished this up for my drawing class, we were supposed to find a picture online that was stippled with a background. I found this: [link] I don't normally post this kind of stuff, but if I don't post this kind of stuff, than I probably wouldn't be posting anything. What I did here is grid off the original raccoon picture and a blank sheet of paper and used an ultra fine Sharpie to make the dots.Also, for those of you who may not know what stippling is, it's basically where you draw something only using black dots. It makes your hand hurt like crazy but when you're done it looks pretty cool if you've done a good job.
Sharpie ultra fine point marker and copy paper, 5 days

You are welocme, traditional pen really makes stippling hard, much of time and patient, but you did a good job on it.

Amen! Traditional stippling = major hand cramps. Glad it was worth it.

I'm doing a piano using stippling right now, it is pretty rewarding when your finished, but the work bringing the results is so annoying O.o
I get a headache after about an hour of work because my eyes don't want to focus on the dots anymore

Amen to that! Oh goodness I'll bet a piano would be pretty hard... All that black area...

I think I lost next to all of my sanity doing it, I just glared at my art teacher when he told me I should go darker on the darkest parts of the piano.
Lol my poor sanity.

Ah man... Telling someone to make something darker on a stippling project is just plain cruel... It should be a criminal offense.
Do you have your piano on dA?
We shall have a funeral for your sanity...

Let me know when you do! I'd love to see it! You put a lot of hard work into it, I"ll bet it's amazing.

All over. This is the problem that I found with using a fairly large point size, you can't really get a good tonal range unless the work is quite large. If there was something in the background, even just a gray tone, that might make the whites and very dark areas stand out more.
As it is, it is a fine piece of work, but has the potential to be more.

Yes. I was working with an ultra fine point Sharpie, my art instructor didn't have any actual stippling pens. I see what you're saying about the big white area. If I can get my hands on another Sharpie I'll have to see what I can do about that.
Thank you for the advice!

The big white area is perfectly fine, if that's what you want. In fact, if you were to make note cards out of this design, the printer would love for you to keep it that way and make his/her job easier.
But since you can not increase the size of the piece now, the only way to get more of a tonal range is to add more dots ....

Don't worry about it, I've got around that many too.
Thank you!!!! Better late than never I suppose.
Have you ever seen/read Twilight? I have one of Alice that I stippled but I don't know if I want to post it or not...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol I have 273 replies alone.

I loved Alice

Don't worry about it! I'm not much better...
It's okay. I'm not going to yell at you for stating your opinion. The story is stupid when you think about it, I will admit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
At least you will, there are so many that actually think it rates as literature ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah. I think that it's worth being mentioned because of it's popularity, but I don't see how it will ever be well known because of it's amazing plotlines.

I only read the first book, and only because someone that I work with agreed to read "Let The Right One In" if I did. I love reading, but getting through that book was very trying. It was like reading the diary of a 16 year old girl with no life.

Jez, you know, it seems like everytime you knock out 10 deviantions --- 20 more get submitted. It never ends!! hahaha
And 
I got a big kick out of that. It appears Muse doesn't even care enough about the books/movies to even spell them right!

Haha yeah they bash (in a subtle way) twilight all the time. I find it quite amusing 
And dude. I have 2,297 devs. I'm about to go nuts! I joined and Avatar Na'vi art group, and I have art running through the woodworks!

hehe... Muse... Amusing... It's aMUSEing! Shush I know I'm a dork.
Holy Sea Bond! When you have that many deviations and messages it makes it hard to enjoy deviantart anymore.

Pun intended
Haha I'm down to 283. And it feels so much better. I pretty much just went through and deleted everything that I didn't find interesting from that digital-artists group I joined.
Tip: never join a very large group and have them in deviantwatch as well. It's overwhelming.
I'm trying my best to look at all of my friends' art. Hopefully I haven't skipped something, or deleted it! I've unwatched the group, but I'm still in it. It makes life so much easier haha
AND DON'T DO THAT D: YOU MUST VISIT MORE OFTEN!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
YAY I GETZ A COOKIE. *nibbles*
That's pretty much what I've been doing. I used to go through and comment on everything, but I went through and deleted the things that didn't really catch my eye. I'm down to about 50 now, so I've resumed my comment-on-almost-everything policy.
I know what you mean about deviantwatching large groups. Every day I have to go in and delete everything from avatar-fan. They just became a group, so all the old art is being reuploaded into the group. I should probably stop watching too, at least until the art slams stop.
I AM TRYING TO GET MORE INTO IT!!! Although I can't really get back 100% until I start answering less messages and making more arts.

AND I'M DONE!!!!!!!11!!!one! hahah 
And I like to do the same!

Woot! Woot! Mine got out of hand again, and I had to delete a bunch.I watch way too many people, but I would feel bad if I unwatched a bunch of them. I feel like if they're watching me, I should watch them back.
