Artist's Comments

This is a scratch board drawing. Instead of drawing with black ink, you actually scratch off the black coating on the board with a metal tool. I used a horse magazine photo (which was in color) as a reference.

No computer work involved.

a whole bunch more complicated than any scratchboard i've done. Curious, how big is the original?

Great technique.
:iconforsythia:
Um, I forgot to mention the size.
The original artwork is 15X10. But when I scanned this work, the edges of the image were a bit cropped. (it didn't fit in my scanner.)
Thanks,

Thanks guys.
You guys are always my inspiration.
If you make a minor mistake on a scratchboard, you can ink on it with black color. But only when it is not a deep cut nor wide area. Well, you might ink on it although it is deep and wide area. But it would look messy and you are unable to re-scratch on that area. Scratchboard is kind of a black coated thick paper, not a metal/wooden kind board. So if you scratch and ink over again, you know, the fiber comes out.
Thanks!
