Monday, 9/6/10. Dots...Final 4, now rendered and framed.

For greater variety in my final composition...I did end up enlarging the bigger dots in my similarity (top right) piece, as well as shrink the largest dot in my proximity (bottom left) piece.

To render them:
-I made some very light pencil marks to get the placement right
-I made the outlines of my dots with a fine pen (to prevent bleeding from compromising my edges)
-I filled the inside of the outline a bit with an ultra fine sharpie
-From here I either used a regular, "fine", sharpie or my "magnum" sized sharpie to fill in the rest (depending on their size).

^ I included a picture of my original thumbnail sketches for a bit of Before/After effect.
