Black and White

'Black and White' is an exercise in pointilism, or stipling, which means that no lines were used to draw the image; the entire picture is created by making tiny dots on the paper! I used india ink and a croquill on bristol paper for creating this picture. It is not an art form I use often, but I do enjoy it quite a bit, especially when the right image comes along. It takes more time than a regular drawing and it will make your hand cramp up like you never thought possible, but the end results are beautiful.

I thought a zebra would be the perfect subject matter. This is a Grevy's zebra, which are very endangered.
