while I'm currently doing a masters in I'm also interested in and the majority of my is pen & ink stippling, and I tend to draw inspiration from what I'm studying.

here are a few critters from my time as an RA on the oceanic flux project:

More ink. Now you can see the forms coming together. Stippling is weirdly relaxing for me, almost meditative. I can make dots all day long.

This would be nice just as an ink drawing! But, not the plan.

An experimental drawing. I've been messing around with some stippling type shading.

I drew some Detective Pikachu fanart, can't wait to see the movie with my sister on May 10th and hope you like the fanart! :D

(I used a stippling shading style...wanted to try a different shading style than what i was used to)

4/ Trialled a little stippling and negative space in this piece. My previous works in the series felt too busy. Despite loving how each one is turning out.

Imaging is making it easier to see the beauty in anatomy and whether its our carpal tunnel (stippling joke!), a xiphisternal flare of a pangolin tongue or the shadowy underpinnings of flight. Sometimes I think its making us lazier, letting machines draw for us.

Inktober Day 8: "Star"

Might have went a bit overboard with this one, but I love tedious stippling

The stippling is complete! At last, it took ages but was worth it...
So now the last bit of shading. I do love the detail in this one

Bonus highlight!

While stippling may be an incredibly rewarding and beautiful technique, I’m retiring this beast for a while due to a recent hand / wrist injury ✌🏻
