    My estimate: 48,479 dots
    I took a screenshot, loaded it into gimp, scaled the image to a single pixel with linear interpolation, and then took the color of that single pixel. The color was d1d0d1, or an average of 208.67 out of 255 possible values (255 being white), so, this means the image was 81.83% white, or 18.17% black. I then took a sample of a fairly homogenous square of dots, which had a blackness density of 14.77%, and counted the individual dots in that sample (37 dots per 1148 square pixels).
    The full image was 1222689 square pixels
    Extrapolating from this sample, I did the following calculation:1222689 sqpx * 37 dots (at 14.77% blackness) / 1148 sqpx / 0.1477 (sample blackness density) * 0.1817 (population blackness density) = 48,479 dots

      @maggs131 Před 2 lety

      I never thought about strength playing a part in creating a piece of art but honestly I feel stupid for not making that connection. This needed strength is not the ability to lift a weight but the mental durability to place each dot purposefully knowing the end of their placing is far away

    Peter, you are so good at video editing to music. The intro to this, and the vlog you did at the beach at sunrise a while back are so good. I could watch a whole channel's worth of just that stuff. Your art and commentary is great as always too. Keep on being Peter.

    • @peter_draws
      @peter_draws  Před 6 lety +8

      ooh that's a cool idea, just because I think it would be cool to feel the back of the paper afterwards, and maybe shine a light through it. I'm afraid I would start putting some of the dots too close together though and big chunks of the paper would fall out completely..

    Loved the intro Peter. So good! A long time ago I somehow ended up on your website looking through some of your art and I found them so dreamy and beautiful. Since then I've been following your videos for a while, but only recently subbed. Just wanted to thank you for being a true inspiration an I love the way you allow the piece to evolve and become something more than what you maybe intended.

  • @TheBookerDeWitt
    @TheBookerDeWitt Před 6 lety +3

    I think it needs to be 2. Stippling is about the related distance between one dot and another. Therefore the minimum is 2.

  • @nhawn9
    @nhawn9 Před 6 lety +1

    So I got 39342 dots. I took a screen shot after 5 seconds of dotting, opened in Photoshop and manually counted crossing them off as I went to not lose track. I got 536 dots/5 seconds. Dots start at 2m52sec (172 seconds), dots end at 8m59 seconds (539 seconds). 539-172=367 seconds of dotting. 367 seconds*(536 dots/5 seconds)=39342 dots.

    Peter, thank you again for a video. I wanted to share something with you. Nothing really. Just a truth about you and I. I started drawing a year ago, I am 33 maybe 34. I cant remember. The point is you are the reason made my first doodle. Not watching you draw but listening you talk when drawing. Something about the way you talked about lines and dots. It made a lot of sense. Thank for you being a part of my daily life even though I dont get share coffee with you.

    @equesdeventusoccasus Před 6 lety

    Not sure how many, but I like a pencil for stippling because you can use different pressure to make bolder or more subtle dots. You can with pen to some extent, but nowhere near as much as with a pencil. The problem is the faint dots don't show up well in a photo of the piece.

    I don't care how poorly done or old my different pieces are, I can't stand to get rid of one single piece of it. It lets me look back and feel proud of how much further I've come, but also sometimes my old art gives me inspiration/ideas for new art. Old art is an accumulation of ideas, and sometimes I'll put that accumulation all into one piece.

    I'd say about 200,000 dots as a rough estimate. I split the image into sections based on dot density, eyeballed the width and height in dots and added the areas up. It's probably quite far off but meh, I might make a program to count the dots later if I'm bored enough :P

    if we used the scan to calculate how much of the page is white vs black, we could count the dots that way
