WIP Stippling Ink Fineliner Drawings

To be precise, there are nine WIP drawing and one completed one, right at the end of the page.

Ukrainian Artist Rostislaw Tsarenko uses the stippling effect with amazing precision.

When used correctly, this style of drawing can give the image an amazing colour variation in the form of shading, detailing and overall finish. It's so obvious, it's a point hardly worth making: Tsarenko aces all three of these aspects.

Many artists provide intermediate stages of completions of their drawings. They do this to illustrate the progression and some times as evidence that they drew it in the first place. Every now and then, I like to show off these intermediate stages. A way of seeing what has been accomplished and a drive to wonder what it's going to look like when completed. WIP or work in progress are sometimes, to me, even more beautiful than the finished piece.

By the way, all of the drawings contained on this page, have been completed. If you want to look at them, press "Rostislaw Tsarenko" at the top of this writeup.

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
