Stippling Technique

Through researching the tattoo culture and tattoo design, it became apparent that the use of stippling was common technique used within the industry. The use of lots of small dots to build up and create shade and depth within the design or illustration.

This technique is something I want to use within my own work, as Hungarian artist said "each work has its own gravitational field which irresistibly forces us to zoom in, explore more, discover new aspects within the whole".
The stippling technique adds more interest to the illustration all while positively adding to the design and creating depth and shadow.
