A lot of people like to call my usual artstyle #pointilism, but I would say that is incorrect. Pointilism makes explicit use of color, whereas I only draw in b&w, so it is more accurate to call it #stippling.

So, here‘s my actual first attempt at pointilism. I tried to draw Baculites, a Late #Cretaceous genus of #ammonite which is notable for briefly surviving past the K-Pg impact.

@TKSivgin In pointilism, pure colors are mixed in perception, so instead of green, you'd use dots of blue and yellow that become green to the eye. Cool baculites.
@bjn2 I am red-green colourblind so this is generally difficult for me
