stippling (texture)
A shading technique where shadows are made using dots of varying density. Often done by hand in traditional media, but in digital media, digital brushes can replicate this effect.
For artwork made up entirely of dots, see pointillism.
For the similar dot-like shapes seen in manga screentones and pixel art, see dithering instead.
