Stippling Technique - Shoe
This stippling drawing was done for my Drawing 2 class at TCC. It took roughly 20-22 hours to complete. I mostly used a .05 file line Prismacolor pen.
In the future I’ll do more stippled artwork. Although it does take time I definitely enjoy doing them. There is something about the stippling technique that is therapeutic and fun.

@Bets thank you! The stippled pieces will be less frequent due to the time it takes. But I definitely will be doing more in the future.
Those do take a lot of time to complete. I remember doing one in an art class. It was small but took several classes to finish. There is something to be said about the patience and relaxation aspects of doing something with so much fine detail.

@Kikolani – Thanks for visiting Kristi. Despite the time and patience it takes, I really enjoy doing stippling. There is something therapeutic about doing it. Unfortunately it does take so much time… time that is all too often hard to come by!
This is my favourite! Looks awesome.
Hi FitQueenB – thanks for the comment! I think I just about decided on which pieces to enter into the show… it’s going to be the faces and the skull. Although this shoe piece probably took the most time, and even possibly shows off artistic talent the most… the others are a bit more interesting I think. See you on plurk! – Eric
Wow this is amazing Eric! I am always moved by how artists are able to capture the details of objects so precisely! I love drawing and painting too, not enough time to do it nowadays due to my many other hobbies, but my abilities are of the abstract type pretty much.
P.S. Thanks for visiting me at Evolving Scenes
