There are a few different ways that you can stipple in Photoshop. One way is to use the brush tool. Open up the brush tool and select a soft round brush. Adjust the size of the brush to be smaller than the area you want to stipple.
Set the hardness to 0% so that the brush is nice and soft. Select a dark color for the foreground color and a light color for the background color. Click and hold down the mouse button while you drag the brush across the area you want to stipple. The longer you hold down the mouse button, the darker the color will be. You can also release and click the mouse button as you go to create different densities of stippling.
Another way to stipple is by using the pen tool. Select the pen tool and make sure that you have path selected, not shape. Click once in the area where you want to start your stippling. Then, holding down Alt, click somewhere else in the area.
A line will appear connecting those two points. Move your cursor around while still holding down Alt and click again to create another point. Continue doing this until you have gone around the entire area that you want to stipple.
Once you have your path, open up the stroke menu. Choose a hard round brush and adjust the size to be smaller than your path. Set both ends of your path to round and check simulate pressure.
Set your foreground color to a dark color and your background color to a light color. Click ok and your path will be turned into a stippling brush.
Conclusion:
Stippling in Photoshop is a great way to add texture and depth to your designs. By using either the brush tool or the pen tool, you can create beautiful stippling effects that will make your designs stand out.
