Contest goal:

TRADITIONAL DRAWING: Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. In this contest, your goal is to draw something of your choice using the pointillism technique. You may use water colors to achieve it or just pencils, as long as your drawing is entirely made of dots. Good luck!

sunzet: do you have any link to examples - have no idea what pointllism is (it might be another word in my lanuage). Analog drawing - is that another word for traditional drawing? ( 5 years and 3444 days ago )

Lamantine: Seurat was indeed a great artist, actually, i got inspired by him to suggest this contest (we were talking about him in art class at school) :P ( 5 years and 3442 days ago )

jawshoewhah: Pretend you don't have a computer ( 5 years and 3437 days ago )

Contest Moderator: since none of the entries so far can be qualified as pointilism (pointilism is a technique which use clear colored dots) we've decided to strech up the descriprion and allow so called 'stipple technique' in this contest too. ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )

Contest Moderator: The new rule 7.4 doesn't apply to this contest because the new rule was implemented after this contest started. ( 5 years and 3430 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Submittime has passed, new entries will be removed. ( 5 years and 3429 days ago )

This was done with a 005 Micron pen over a light pencil sketch and quite a few hours. The pencil was erased early in the process. Yoyu may have to view high res to see the dots(yes they are there :) No references were used. (5 years and 3436 days ago)

All work done using a pencil and a .5 ball pen and offcourse eraser for erasing those pencil lines.......okay jokes apart

total working time : 9-10 hours
(as I used this technique first time it took a lot of time)

at first I thought that this is pretty old technique and it will be waste of time. But once I started drawing and started getting results then I came to know about the beauty of pointillism. And I must admit the time I spend in creating this image is really worth it. (5 years and 3436 days ago)
