A traditional piece i did a few years back.

This was done with Micron Pens on bristle paper.

Yes those are all dots(even the completely black areas are comprised of dots)...the technique is stippling, (similar to pointillism except pointillism uses many different colors to make it appear as blended colors, where stippling only uses one color, generally black, to simply express the shade. a good example would be like a black and white photo.)

This was the second piece i did like this, this one i made as a gift. The picture i used as a reference was one that i took myself.
