This drawing shows three wavy blue lines on a light background. The lines look like they’re made of tiny dots packed close together. The colors are mostly shades of blue and white, with the lines standing out against a pale, almost grayish area. The artist used a technique where tiny dots build up the shape and shading. It’s not smooth—it’s textured, like sandpaper. Next, check out stippling to see how other artists use dots to create images.
