Precisely placed dots with even spacing Stippling Precisely placed dots with even spacing
How do we do that?
1. Draw a contour line of the object
2. Divide the contour line drawing into smaller shapes that show each surface plane
3. Observe the value and direction of each surface plane. -Use value techniques to copy the light patterns -Change line direction to follow each surface plane
