Tips for better results

  1. Tip 01

    Fewer colour levels mean a flatter, more comic-like result.

  2. Tip 02

    Large dots work best on close-up faces; use small dots when the scene has lots of detail.

  3. Tip 03

    Tilt the angle slightly so the dots do not line up with straight edges.
