I got a dotspen several weeks ago. I did this drawing back then just for fun and to get a feel for the pen. This is the perfect implement for an impatient stippler like me. It has two speeds slow and fast. I only use fast. In fact I wish it had a setting called faster!
π,nothing that doesn’t need more power ! I hadn’t heard about this pen,but I know a few people who might be interested. Do you find it gives a good result in comparison to your previous stippling? I suppose I am asking does it look too regular compared to your normal work.

I only found out about it a few months ago and had to try it out. What I like about it is that it’s fast. I think a good stipple artist, that wouldn’t be me, has much more control by hand. Mine doesn’t look all that regular, but I haven’t used it a lot. I’m sure with practice it would look more regular. All that being said it’s fun!

Hi Kerfe. I know there are multiple colors of ink refills such as blue, red and yellow. I haven’t investigated how many different colors are available.

It is probably a technique that is too overwhelming for me. Knowing your artwork, this will be a tool that you’ll take to very well. Looking forward to seeing more.

i have never heard of a dotspen! it’s been three years since i’ve been back in the cosmopolitan world, where there are art supply stores and easy frame shops, etc… i told someone that my next trip back, i probably need to take two or three days to myself – just to wander around stores like that and marvel at what’s available.
this is something that would be interesting to see —- i suspect there are youtube videos tht show it in action – or maybe you can do a video to show all of us!!!

Hmmm…Iβll have think about that. It might be like Charlie Brown demonstrating how to kick a football. π£
