painting or drawing executed by means of small dots

I see this differently. If you just create an outline (with pencil, chakk, ink or paint) then you can said to be drawing. When you fill in that outline with paint, you're painting.
So for me, the man on the right is drawing; the man on the left may be painting, it's not clear.

That's a very clear example (#13) of what I said in #12. First he draws an outline in black, using paint. Then he paints it green, using a spray can.
For me, the word draw means the outline sketch, the word paint means the coloured infill.

...If one draws an outline first, and then he fills in that outline with colour crayons or chalk. I wonder which word I should use to describe the filling, draw or paint.
Exactly the words you suggest:
You can fill in/colour in/paint in/crayon in/chalk in/spray in/ink in... the drawn outline. In other words, there is a specific verb for paint, ink, crayon, spray-paint and chalk. For other media you would use fill in/colour in.

There are many ways of creating art and so there are many combinations of substances and actions. I like lingobongo's specific answer to the OP "spray-painting" - that action can apply to a singe colour, like repainting a car, or to art where different colours are used. Similarly, ink can be applied with pens (felt-tip as above or hard nib) or brushes, as in sumi-e (Ink wash painting - Wikipedia) and watercolour images can be created with ink or creation of "paint" by application of water to solid blocks of "colour". I have a "brush pen" (from Japan) that works just like a normal calligraphy brush but is in the form of a pen (with refillable ink cartridges). In this discussion, we need specifics
