What is "stippling"?

Stippling is a technique where small dots or short strokes are used to create an image or texture. By changing the amount and placement of these dots, artists can produce different shades and details, creating the illusion of depth and shading. This method is commonly used in drawing and printmaking to add detail and texture, and it can be applied with pens, brushes, or other tools. Stippling is valued for its ability to create detailed and delicate effects through the careful placement of individual marks.
