Thanks, much appreciated!

Thanks!

I guess technically this would fall under the “stippling” umbrella. “Pointillism” generally means using full color for the dots, usually with paint.

But I’m not really the pedantic type, so whatever. I usually say stippling.

This always comes up when people look at my stuff. Love it! I definitely watched quite a lot of that screensaver.

Mark Kistler? If so, I loved watching that when I was a kid.

I did this one with inks. Brush for the colors, dip pen (and a bit of brush) for the black.

With this alcohol-based paint it was just the easiest way to get the fine lines I wanted.

The paint would clog up a fountain pen / technical pen pretty much immediately, and refillable felt-tip pens (like for paint pens) would be thicker than I wanted.
