《点的妙用》
点画法各位肯定都有所耳闻，即在画布上不停地用笔点出物体的形与面，并凭借点的紧密和稀疏营造立体感。近日，一位刑事学者Julia Koceva便通过这经典的技法创作了不少佳作，23岁的她瞬时风靡整个网络。现随小编一起来欣赏她的佳作吧。
23-year-old Julia Koceva has taken the internet by storm with her impressive drawings created using an old technique known as stippling – creating a pattern and applying varying degrees of solidity or shading to it by using small dots.
每天下了班，夜晚便是Koceva创作的时刻。单单在画布上画这么一小块则需要花费40-100个小时，全部完成可想而知是多么得煞费苦心啊。圆珠笔是她的绘画工具，在画面上点出细小的黑点，实则不易。《钢笔画：简易指南》的作者Alphonso Dunn诠释到：“点画法能给予画面独特的纹理，但绘画者需拥有极强的耐心，必须一丝不苟、小心翼翼地慢慢绘画。该技巧考验的是那钢铁般的意志、愚公移山般的耐心，一旦完工往往是惊叹不已的佳作。”
A criminologist by day, Koceva spends her nights working on her amazing drawings. She takes between 40 and 100 hours to finish a piece, painstakingly applying tiny black dots to a large piece of paper, using nothing but a ballpoint pen. As Alphonso Dunn, author of “Pen and Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide,” says, stippling creates a unique texture but requires patience and a meticulous approach. It’s a technique that requires nerves of steel and mountains of patience, but the end results are nothing short of awe-inspiring.
这位年轻的瑞典业余艺术家绘画范围很广，有时候是写实动植物，亦或自然花卉，也有时绘画音乐器材，而名人肖像则是最令人折服的点画作品了，一幅肖像画往往由上千万个细小的黑点组成。她所描绘的名人一般为流行偶像，比如大卫·鲍伊（英国音乐人），或杰克·尼科尔森（奥斯卡金像奖得主）。
The young Swedish artist draws all kinds of things, from realistic animals and flowers to musical instruments, but her most impressive artworks are definitely the celebrity portraits. Her collection features portraits of pop icons like David Bowie and Jack Nicholson, with everything but their hair made up of thousands of tiny black dots.
长时间的绘画，虽能带来精美的佳作，却对她的健康造成了很大的危害——她得了腕管综合症（又称鼠标手）。然而，她仍坚持不懈的创作着，并在Instagram上发布作品，为此俘获了不少粉丝，如今已拥有68万的追随者。
Even though the thousands of hours dedicated to creating these beautiful works of art have taken a toll on her health – she has developed carpal tunnel syndrome – Julia Koceva continues to draw and captures the imagination of her fans with every new piece she posts on Instagram, where she has over 68,000 followers.
PS：小编我刚搬好家，迫于房租的压力，换成了一间更小的房间，现在10平米不到的蜗居里，给大家送上节日祝福。祝各位平安夜平平安安，圣诞节享乐。记得做你想做的，并乐此不彼，即使住在娇小的空间里，也要面带微笑。^^
I just moved out for higher price of the rent and moved in a smaller “apartment” which’s no more than 107-square-foot home. I send this greeting from here, wish you all have a peaceful night and merry christmas. And keep that in mind——Do more of what makes you happy even live in a tiny place like me. <3 😀
PPS：我也送上自己之前画的一幅动物素描，和这位达人一样选用圆珠笔作画，代表我的订阅号再次祝福亲朋好友们节日快乐！
On behalf of my official WeChat, I hereby present my artwork that I drew a long time ago to offer my best wishes to you all once again. This sketch was drawn by ballpoint pen, the same tool that the artist used as well. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
