    How is this type of shading called?

    I like it very much, as it is a type of shade you cannot achieve with an algorithm (at least not that easy and perfectly). Would love to have a tattoo like that.

      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.

        Pointillism is an impressionist technique. So like blending colours together when seen from a little distance, Pissarro did a lot for example.
