Pens and Scissors – a composition of pens and a pair of scissors from the pen holder that sits on my desk at work. This was created with .005 colored micron pens and my moleskine sketchbook.

Wow, that is awesome.. Can you tell us a little bit about your stippling technique? It look like something you would see in a page of a magazine with a magnification.
Q. 10:28 am on April 22, 2010 | #
The first thing I do is lay out a light line drawing of my subject. Then I take a base color and stipple it in. There are some stipple artist who like to lay their dots in a 3 or 5 dot pattern formation but I could never grasp that. Using a pattern helps to keep from having to go back over what you have already laid in but it never really suit me. So I use a random formation and then go back over it being careful not to put too much ink down in one area. To get the highlights I lay in less dots. To get the shadows I take a complimentary color and sparsely lay in more dots until I achieve the effect of a shadow. The final thing that I do is go back over the drawing with an eraser and lightly erase the guide lines. That’s pretty much the gist of my technique. Thanks for asking.
