Much better shot of earlier post.
All stippling. Ink with rapidograph pens. Done in high school 1976.
Stippling is the most time consuming art technique by far that I know of. Satisfying when completed though.

Thank you! Stippling is what taught me patience. Started with partial stippled pieces, then the 3 I have in my gallery, then my last one in 1979 which was a 24" x 24" full detailed siberian tiger in a snowy forest scene. Was about 70% complete (which was about 300 hours) when I came home from work one day and found it had been destroyed almost totally in a freak incident. I tried recreating it but my muse was gone and I didn't draw again for 31 years. That was the real sad part.
The patience and attention to detail that I learned from it though, carried over into my profession and has made me quite successful at it and has allowed me pick up where I left off when I started drawing again. Detail, not stippling!
You don't need patience to do a stippled piece, it's just kind of picked up as you go.
