In this quick tip tutorial we will look at how to add stipple shading to your artwork in Illustrator with the Stipplism plugin. Stipple shading can be a really effective tool for adding depth to your artwork. Stipplism allows you to add stipples, and even scale the dots based on a gradient. Stipplism also gives you the functionality of creating stipples based on symbols. Once you've created your stipple, expand it into a group of vectors, or leave it as a live effect to adjust later.
