Stipple Portrait Tutorial

Make a portrait using dots! This video is inspired by the Wall Street Journal hedcuts. It is a great tutorial for beginners and can give artists some ideas for new projects.  All you need are 2 printed images of whatever you want to draw, (we used Abraham Lincoln's portrait) a sheet of tracing paper large enough to cover your image, a pen or fine tip marker, and a piece of tape.  This tutorial is meant to show you the technique and give you tips for using the Stipple (dot) method of drawing.  We trace in this tutorial!! SHOCK!! There is a link to what a very famous artist has to say about tracing.  Enjoy and check out the links below for more info on the  WSJ hedcuts and for a link to the portrait I used!
