    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 :-)

    Who on earth could possibly give this man a dislike!?
    Anyway, I'm glad you're still drawing STRONG, sir. I really enjoy what you share with us, and I would LOVE to see you draw a city-scape or a castle.

      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.

    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.

    @blueshrania 8 лет назад +1

    Maestro thanks for all your videos, but i have to ask something. every time you explain some drawing could you use multiple examples? like here, i got what you did, i tried, the outcome was great but then i couldnt do it on my own on a complete different eye (this one in particular, i went from a wrinkled eye with a lot of volumes to wanting to make a flat smiling eye...total disaster lol). which is a pity. if i had at least a couple of examples to copy to master the technique it would have been great. so grateful for all your work!!
