Hello guys, today I want to share with you my newly explored technique, I call it pointillism, I basically make use of dots or should I say points to create the perfect illusion and bring out a structure.

Using this technique for sketch is time consuming and needs patience as creating this dots is very stressful, I make use of lighter graphite pencils ranging from 4h to B for the lighter part of the sketch while from 2b to 8b for the darker parts of the drawing.

For the lighter parts I applied less pressure on the paper thereby creating thin faded dots while for the darker part I used a more bigger point pencil(8b) and applied more pressure so as to differentiate between the light and darkness, please stay with me as I explore this new technique further. Thanks
