FAQs
What is stippling illustration?
Stippling illustration is a pen-and-ink image where form is built entirely from fine ink dots, tone is carried by dot density rather than line, and the white paper is left bare at the highlights. Dots pack tight in the shadows and spread wide in the light, with no line anywhere. That pure dotwork is what separates it from a flat grey fill.
Where can I make stippling illustrations with AI?
You can create stippling illustrations with AI on Morphic, right in your browser. Open the Image tool, describe the fine dots, the density gradation, and the subject, and Morphic generates the dotwork art. No installs and no design software needed.
How do I build tone with dots alone in a stippling illustration?
Name the density gradation and the absence of line directly in the prompt: "tone made only from dot density, dots packed tight in the shadow and spread wide in the light, no line anywhere, the white paper bare at the highlights." Calling out the density and the missing line is what gives the image its true stipple modelling.
How do I keep a set of stippling illustrations consistent?
Use the Style Transfer workflow to lock the dot scale, density range, and palette from your first stippling drawing, then reference that style card across the set. Each piece carries a different subject while the whole run shares one dotwork behaviour.
Can I add a title or caption to a stippling illustration on Morphic?
Yes. Generate the stippling illustration with space reserved, then open the Canvas to place a title or caption. Keeping the type as a separate layer lets you adjust the wording without regenerating the dotwork.
Do I need drawing skill to make stippling illustrations?
No. Morphic runs in your browser and takes plain-language prompts, so stippling illustrations need no drawing skill. Anyone who can describe fine dots, a density gradation, and a subject can produce a finished stippling image. A technical pen and the patience for thousands of hand-placed dots are not required.
