North American Bison (Part 1)

This wild bison is a try on the traditional style of stippling. Stippling is using all black ink dots to make the piece. Pointillism is the use of dots with colors, which a lot of what my past pieces have been. Stippling in this piece has been mostly with a .20 mm pen (which is pictured below).

With the extremely small-tipped pen, I am able to get some great detail in showing the intricate parts of the head, while still being able to add the levels of shadows to show depth. 

It's going to be set in an all black background, so still plenty of dots to go! It should be finished real soon.
