Happy Holidays to everyone. I recently bought Anime Studio Pro 7 and proceeded to make this animation using some of my pen & ink stipple artwork. I found AS to be very easy to use and I will be adding it to my tool box on a regular basis. Make sure to turn your sound on when you watch this. Here is the link:

Create a Great Day!

Really cute! Thanks for sharing

That was delightful to watch!
How long did it take to create the stipple polar bear?
Did you do the stipple dot by dot, or use a "cluster brush?"

REALLY nice work!

I did the original stipple in pen & ink and it took approx. 8 - 10 hours. Then it took another 6 hours or so to animate just the big polar bear. All of it was done one dot at a time except for the snowflakes. Those I did in Illustrator and then filled them with dots in Photoshop. Thank you for watching.

Wow, I was thinking about that big polar bear. I even experimented how to do it using AS. I created an style with a circular brush and paint it using several lines. Then I selected all the lines and used the curve exposure tool to reveal the dots in time. With a little work of select and offsetting you can create a very similar nice effect.

Maybe this could be interesting for you (it's a rough example, anyway)

This is a lot of fun to watch. The style is really easy to look at and draws you in. Did you create this for anything special?

I love to stipple, as I find it very relaxing and kind of magical when you are done. I mean all you are doing is making dots and an image appears.
