Dotwork
Entirely composed of dots — pointillist stippling used to build tonal ranges and texture without continuous linework. Closely associated with geometric and blackwork aesthetics but can be used independently for portraiture and botanicals. Labour-intensive; density of dots determines depth of shadow.
- Entirely stippled dot composition
