7 Million Dots And 370 Hours Later, I Present My Piece Called ‘Autumn’

ADVERTISEMENT

“Autumn” was created on a 56x56cm Arches sheet (22″x22″). Started at the end of 2015, this piece took me 370 hours to complete! Using only a stippling technique, black ink and a 0,10mm nib, it contains around 7 million of inked dots.

I’ve also drew a creative alphabet, illustration named “Into the wild” and the one called “Patience and discipline”. This one is a part of a series in which I’ll represent the four seasons. I hope you’ll like it!

    How did you estimate the number of dots? Im guessing you did not count one by one.

    Ahah indeed I didn't count one by one. It's an estimation, as I stipple at a speed of 5-8 dots per second.

    I also experiment with stipple and I must say its not as much about being patient. I personally find the stipple process to be very soothing and meditative. Much more than any other medium I have tried. I can quietly make dots for hours! It's great! The author has done a brilliant job here.

    I love this technique! I remember learning it in high school. (I could never do anything close to this, of course!) I just think it looks amazing!

    You have amazing talent! What a treat to see something like this that must have been a labor of love from the first dot to the last. Thank you for sharing. I loved this.

    I could manage 5-7 dots every half hour trying to figure out placement - and it would still be a mess! Beautifully executed...
