Work in Progress - Stage 2

I decided it was time to try another loose, less refined style - ideally something high contrast to compliment the Scribble Series ([link] [link] [link] ).

I've done a few stippling pieces in traditional media ([link] [link] [link] ) and have wondered whether transferring that technique to digital would work. This is my first experiment with it and so far it's going pretty well. The main difference being that in Photoshop you can adjust the size of the brush very quickly using keyboard shortcuts. Using these keys and the Wacom tablet allows for very fast application of dots.

This is partway through the second & third passes which I am working on at the same time. As with the scribbles, there are separate layers for white, 25%, 50% and 75% black - lightest at the top, darkest towards the bottom. You can see the varying dot sizes more clearly in this WIP, which is the reason I posted it so big.

Pretty pleased so far - the effect is working well.
