"pouncing"的定义和意义

What is "pouncing"?

Pouncing is a drawing and painting technique where artists use small dots or marks to create patterns or textures on a surface. This method often involves a tool called a pounce wheel, which has tiny, evenly spaced teeth, or dotted paper, which helps transfer a design by tapping or rubbing over it. The tiny dots or marks build up the overall texture and detail of the artwork. This technique is useful for adding shading, creating texture, or transferring a draft sketch onto a final canvas or paper.
