Underwhelmed forever. Death by painting.
I mostly just share my art here.
I guess technically this would fall under the “stippling” umbrella. “Pointillism” generally means using full color for the dots, usually with paint.
But I’m not really the pedantic type, so whatever. I usually say stippling.
This always comes up when people look at my stuff. Love it! I definitely watched quite a lot of that screensaver.
Mark Kistler? If so, I loved watching that when I was a kid.
I did this one with inks. Brush for the colors, dip pen (and a bit of brush) for the black.
I’m also a Migadu user. Nothing but good experiences with them. Simple, solid, and straightforward.
With this alcohol-based paint it was just the easiest way to get the fine lines I wanted.
The paint would clog up a fountain pen / technical pen pretty much immediately, and refillable felt-tip pens (like for paint pens) would be thicker than I wanted.
Yeah, I’m an artist on mastodon.art. Not a huge fan their heavy moderation and the drama it creates. I’d love to switch instances, but hate that previous posts don’t travel with you.
Thanks!
I think one factor is I generally don’t use a ruler/straightedge — just freehand it. So every line has varying degrees of imperfection.
That’s super cool! I’ll try and check it out if I’m ever in the area.
Thanks, much appreciated!
