Scratchboard

Artist Statement: I made a scratchboard self portrait. I used an image of myself that I had in my camera roll. I used scratchboard and scratch utensils. I decided to make this because I would be able to show my line and shading skills. These composition rules were applied to the art throughout the piece. Because the project is of myself, that is how it relates to my life. If it would be stronger, I would make the whites more white and the darks more dark.
