    VIDEO DESCRIPTION
    How to draw a realistic eye with stippling, stipples, or dots as a part of learning drawing with a variety of techniques other than scribbling, cross-hatching, hatching, etc. This can be applied to drawing a portrait, the head, facial features, people, the figure , animals, landscape, still life or any other subject. I provide a breakdown of how to outline and shade with stipples in this tutorial. Stippling, unlike other various shading techniques like hatching, cross-hatching, scribbling creates a unique texture but requires patience and a meticulous approach.
    Its fun and loose but requires some focus to keep the stipples consistent and together. Give it a shot :-)

      When he shaded the ball, I got ticked off - he made the curve too dark. There is no eraser with this technique. He kept going I dislike the video.

    I have just started using this form of drawing. I find it fascinating! You do some wonderful techniques here that are very helpful. I practiced my shading techniques using adult coloring books, and then did my first free hand drawing. I am pretty happy with the results. Keep em coming!!! I look forward to seeing more of your work!

    My neighbor is a a pro at this technique, He has made a living using this technque for over 20 years, drawing buildings and houses. It takes him weeks or even months to finish one. He has shared with me to go in circles with your pen to get even and consistent dots.

See the term stippling being thrown around, so i think the shit is that? OHHHH it's those really cool dot drawings. Brought me to youtube to look up how it's done...found your vid...and now i wanna give it a try, on a really small scale. You're a good teacher man! That eye...looks amazing lol no joke.

    I'm glad your stipples are mostly dots now. In the other video where you did the face, you often did strokes instead of dots, which made the lady look like she got a beard instead of a shadow. This way now it looks so much better.
