Raven Stippling Project
This project was an exercise in value study, seeing shapes, and technique. Using micron pens I built up layers of tiny dots, working section by section to fully render the raven. For me, this assignment was all about pacing, getting manageable bits of the piece done each day to counter the time-consuming nature of the technique.
