I've been meaning to do some in either oils or acrylics for years... time to stop procrastinating and get on with it, methinks!

Oh, lovely! I've done some pointillism (technical drawings of archaeological objects, the images don't belong to me so i haven't posted them), so i have some idea of the work this was. I'm always amazed at the subtleness one can achieve with dots.
Great work!

I know what you mean! It can be quite compelling work, too. I think this piece only got finished because I would fall into a trance of dotting, and the compulsion to carry on a bit longer overcame the urge to stop and have a break.
Thank you!

The detail is mind-numbing, but in a good way! This must have taken hours. Nice work!

I shudder to think how long it took, it was many, many hours. Thank you!

Beautiful, my favorite whale!
I love the finish that the ink gives, not something often seen on here.

Thanks! They are my favourite too. Given how long it took, I can understand why this technique's not more popular.

I can imagine so.
But still, it's well worth the work. It's a very nice effect.

The details in this piece are just stunning! Great ink textures, I cannot even begin to imagine how long it must have taken to do this . Awesome work

Thank you!
It took absolutely ages! I carried it around school with me for weeks, doing a bit here and there between lessons. The original's A3 sized. So many dots... no wonder my sanity's fled!

One point by point. So perfect. The only thing that it is negative on this work is that we cannot see it in overall: there is some missing part. But I repeat, this work is so great.

Very nice. Didn't you do one like this before?

Gorgeous, as usual. I'll never be able to pull off realism like that.

Ah, the photo reference helped. I didn't mention the photo ref did I? (Bad Hare). Yes, I got it from a book. Possibly 'Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises' I think. My memory is full of holes. I did one without ref before this and it was poo.
