I bet. I'm working on a few portraits myself, that hopefully I will upload using line and stippling. How long did it take you to do?

This piece took about 70 hours total spread out over 6 months. I coached a season of wrestling in the middle of that, so about 3 months of the 6 I didn't work on it much. Good luck completing your projects to your satisfaction

I noticed that you suggested we add this portrait to our favorites collection at #CelebrityPortraits . I'm afraid we don't allow members (or non-members) to suggest one of their own deviations as a favorite, but feel free to submit it into our gallery by following the steps in our Info & Rules journal !

I would almost like to know how many dots, but then again, maybe not.

Sometimes when I do pointillism I try to count but I give up because it takes so much longer.

That is some INSANE stippling! The detail shots really shows your patience too. Personally, I would never attempt that, far too time consuming =]

My current stippling piece is 5 times as big with the same amount of detail. Whatever sanity I had left after this one will have surely escaped by the time i finish it

Whoa, what motivates you to make more stippling pieces? :0 Ah, some extra patience can never hurt.

I suppose it's the challenge, I like to push myself on many different levels. Stippling is the polar opposite to the airbrush work I more commonly do. Airbrush is fast and immediate, stippling forces me to slow down and take my time. This allows me to ponder how the work looks over a greater period and make adjustments. It will probably never be profitable either, again the opposite of my airbrush work. Art for arts sake to put it simply.
