This sketch shows a person’s face and hands, drawn with tiny dots and lines. The head is wrapped in a patterned cloth, and the hands rest in the lap. Above it, there’s a separate drawing of wavy lines and shapes that look like fabric or movement. The tiny dots covering the face are made by a method called stippling. It’s all done by hand, with no color—just black and white. Check out stippling to see how artists create shading with dots.
